Biography
David Papot, born March 3, 1991, in Saint-Nazaire, France, has carved a distinguished path in boxing with a foundation rooted in a stellar amateur career. Beginning his boxing journey at the age of eight, Papot compiled over 100 amateur bouts, including 30 with the French Olympic team. His amateur accolades include being a two-time Junior Champion of France, a two-time Vice Champion, and a Senior Champion of France. His international experience and technical skill were highlighted by a strong showing in the European Championships, where he reached the quarter-finals.
Known for his stylistic approach in the ring, Papot transitioned to the professional ranks in 2013, making his debut with a points win over Guy Yitenze Niyou. His rise was steady and calculated, culminating in a major milestone in 2017 when he captured the WBA Middleweight Continental title with a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Dzmitry Atrokhau. That victory set the tone for his continued ascent, and he followed it with a win for the French Super Welterweight Title, which he successfully defended twice.
Papot’s great record and current ranking of a top middleweight contender reflect both his consistency and his ambitions on the global stage.
