At just 22 years old, the Canadian lightweight Josh Jauncey is one of the brightest prospects on the kickboxing scene. Born in England but raised in Vancouver, Canada, he has gone a perfect 3-0 since being signed to the GLORY World Series and this Friday finds himself within touching distance of a title shot as he enters the Lightweight Contender Tournament at GLORY 22 FRANCE this Friday June 5.
GLORY Contender Tournaments are four-man affairs which reward the winner with a shot at their division's belt. This is Jauncey's first major tournament and he is in there with some seriously top-tier talent: former champion Davit Kiria is in the line-up, as is Thai champion Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong.
