Amateur career

Jean Pascal was born in Port-au-Prince (Haiti). In the late 1980s his family moved to Quebec, Canada. In school he played hockey and soccer, but watching his older brother Nicholson Poulard become the Quebec boxing champion in 1996, Pascal, at 13 years of age, started to train at the "Club Champions St-Michel" boxing gym every week. His first trainer was Sylvain Gagnon, who considered Pascal to be a natural talent. (According to an interview in May 2005, Pascal's idol was Roy Jones Jr..) Pascal won the Canadian amateur championship seven times (1998-2004) and in 2001 he joined the national boxing team. Three times he was named the best Canadian boxer (2001-2003). His final amateur record was 103-18.
