Thonson Boxing Twins: A Steady Climb to Success in the Boxing World
Chann and Trevor Thonson, the talented boxing twins with a Jamaican heritage, are making significant strides in the world of professional boxing. With recent impressive victories, they are poised for promising careers in the sport.
Chann, the first to turn professional, boasts an impeccable 15-0 record, including 11 knockout wins. Trevor, who postponed his professional debut in pursuit of Olympic dreams, now holds a remarkable 9-0 record, featuring eight knockout victories. Chann's most recent victory came on September 5 when he secured a technical knockout over Russian fighter Nikolai Buzolin in Nashville, Tennessee, during the third round. Trevor, on the other hand, went the distance and earned a victory on points against the seasoned Willie Shaw (14-6) in an eight-round contest in Plant City, Florida, on October 4.
Chann's outstanding victory over Buzolin and his undefeated record have earned him the prestigious No. 10 ranking in the lightweight division (135 pounds) in the latest World Boxing Association (WBA) rankings. This accomplishment positions him as a strong contender for future world title opportunities.
Both twins conveyed their delight with the progress they've made in their careers. They expressed confidence in their potential to compete for world titles in the coming years. Chann, currently leading the charge, is content with his career's trajectory. As the North American Boxing Federation champion and WBA Fedebol titleholder, he anticipates that a few more victories over the next six months will propel him into the top-five of the WBA rankings, opening doors to world title contention. His recent fight received rave reviews, further bolstering his aspirations for a successful future. He intends to close out the year with his final bout in 2023.
Trevor shares his brother's optimism and views his last fight, which went the distance, as a valuable experience. Testing his stamina through an eight-round bout allowed him to explore new techniques and strategies in the ring. He emphasized his willingness to seize knockout opportunities when they arise, as demonstrated in the final round of his most recent fight. Trevor plans to have one more bout this year and looks forward to breaking into the top-10 of the lightweight division, following in his twin brother's footsteps in the upcoming year.
The Thonson boxing twins are undoubtedly on the rise in the boxing world, and their impressive records and aspirations suggest that they are well on their way to achieving their dreams of becoming world champions.
