Avery Martin-Duval, introduced to boxing at age 11 in Saint-Clet, quickly earned a stellar reputation in the amateur ranks both provincially and nationally. A multiple-time Quebec and Canadian champion, he also claimed titles at the Adidas Cup and the Canada Games while showcasing his talent in prestigious competitions in Tunisia and the United States.
Described by his former coach Jessy-Ross Thompson as a prodigy, the ambidextrous boxer’s greatest asset is his exceptional ring intelligence. ‘Avery possesses extraordinary vision, timing, and an understanding of boxing science that’s rare even at the highest levels,’ says Thompson. ‘These skills, paired with his knockout power, set him apart as a future star.’
Despite his amateur success, Martin-Duval shortened his time in the unpaid ranks to chase his ultimate dream: becoming a world champion as a professional. Just days after his 18th birthday, he made his professional debut under Eye of the Tiger, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The Hawkesbury native secured a first-round stoppage in his debut and repeated the feat just two weeks later.
Over the years, ‘The Future’ has lived up to his nickname, fearlessly taking on challenges and consistently delivering standout performances. At just 23 years old, Avery Martin-Duval remains undefeated with a 13-0 record and is edging closer to 10-round fights and a place in the global rankings.
