Badou Jack Plans To Pursue World Title In Fourth Division

Badou Jack will look to win a world title in a fourth division.

Jack won the WBC cruiserweight title last February and now boxing advisor Amer Abdallah for Saudi Arabia, says he will be fighting for a fourth world title in 2024.

“Beyond his talent inside the ring, Badou Jack is a genuine ambassador for the sport and a philanthropist dedicated to creating a positive influence globally, transcending religious and racial boundaries,” stated Abdallah (h/t BoxingScene). “His background and the values he embodies have resonated particularly well in the Middle East, making him a fighter embraced by the region. With the Middle East emerging as a pivotal hub for boxing, we anticipate a stellar 2024, marking another extraordinary year for Badou.”

Badou Jack has won titles in the cruiserweight, light heavyweight, and super middleweight divisions. The plan now is to get another legacy fight and win a world title in a fourth division as he’s open to moving up to heavyweight.

“I started boxing to create a legacy, fight the best in the world, while being led by my faith,” stated Jack. “Since my last fight, I’ve been back in the gym preparing for my next fight and I’m ready for another challenge. Boxing is more than a sport…it’s a lifestyle. I’m 40 years old, but when you live a disciplined life and take care of yourself, age is just a number. I’m prepared to face anyone from Cruiserweight to heavyweight – let’s go…

“I’ve never felt this hungry in my career as I do now,” continued Jack. “I know what it takes to become great, and I’m ready to close out my career with a bang.”

Badou Jack is currently 28-3-3 and riding a six-fight winning streak and coming off the TKO win over Ilunga Makabu by TKO last time out. In his career, he holds notable wins over Anthony Dirrell, Lucian Bute, and Nathan Cleverley among others.
