Jacob Pagaling is representing Calgary in boxing bouts across Canada and the United States.
At 16 years old, His dream is to fight professionally, win world titles and become one of the best boxers of all time.At the age of four, Calgary's Jacob Pagaling was introduced to martial arts such as taekwondo and Muay Thai by his father, a black belt martial artist.
"A lot of these fights that I'm going abroad for, I'm representing Calgary, just like, coming from Calgary," he said. "When I was 13, I didn't really expect for me to come this far in my boxing journey. Things didn't look the best because I wasn't really in shape," Pagaling told CBC News. "But, I had a dream. I stuck to my high training intensity. There were days where I didn't feel so good, I still put in the work."
Pagaling's status as a prodigy was evident shortly after he began training at the Calgary Boxing Club, when Coveney arranged a match with a 13-year-old from another gym.
