Life in the fast lane just where Pascal expected to be - A slice of the Wikipedia story -
Long before Pascal was an amateur or professional, he had a story part of which is his arrival in Canada
as a pre-teen, and when he reached his teens like many others he turned to amateur boxing and began training with SYLVAIN GAGNON. Back then, who could have guessed what his boxing journey
would reveal. Over time, he would become a Canadian amateur boxing champion and be one of the members of Team Canada Boxing to participate in the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England.
