Chance will make his pro debut Saturday, March 29, on the Mikaela Mayer-Sandy Ryan II undercard
LAS VEGAS (March 11, 2025) — Southpaw phenom Emmanuel Chance, a bantamweight from East Orange, New Jersey, has signed a multi-year promotional contract with Top Rank.
The 18-year-old will make his professional debut in a four-round bout on Saturday, March 29, as part of the Mikaela Mayer-Sandy Ryan II undercard at BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
Chance is managed by James Prince and co-promoted by Antonio Leonard.
“Emmanuel is an exceptional talent who has already accomplished so much. His style is suited to the professional ranks,” said Top Rank Chairman Bob Arum. “I look forward to watching his professional debut, the first fight in a journey that I believe will include multiple world championships.”
Chance said, “I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to showcase my skills. This didn’t hit me until I visited the Top Rank offices and took everything in. So many legendary fighters have started their careers with Top Rank, and I want to follow in their footsteps.”
Chance has been fighting and dominating national amateur tournaments for the better part of a decade. As an amateur, he spent invaluable time in the gym working with three-weight world champion and fellow New Jersey native Shakur Stevenson. Chance won the USA Boxing Junior National Championships in 2021 and the USA Boxing Youth National Championships the following year. In 2023, Chance overcame a loaded field to capture gold at the Brandenburg Youth Cup in Lindow, Germany. Last November, he earned a silver medal at the U19 World Boxing Championships in Pueblo, Colorado, cementing his status as one of the world’s elite amateurs.
