Didier Bence (born August 14, 1987) is a Canadian professional heavyweight boxer from Laval, Quebec. He is best known for becoming a Canadian amateur boxing champion as a teenager and winning bronze at the 2007 Pan American Games, defeating two-time US champion Mike Wilson twice in the process, but has disappointed as a professional.

Amateur career

185 cm /6’1", 104 kg /230 lbs Bence started boxing at the age of 14 and won the Canadian junior championships in 2005 and 2006 and the senior title at super heavyweight in 2007. He upset Mike Wilson on points in the PanAm qualifier (in Argentina) [1] and faced him again in a bout at the main event in Rio de Janeiro which he won again this time by controversial stoppage at the 1:03 mark of the third round. Wilson had led by an 8-5 margin at the time of the stoppage. Due to injury he couldn't participate in his semifinal against Colombian Oscar Rivas and lost by walkover which earned him bronze. This injury also kept him from participating in the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships. In the middle of 2007 his record was 30-7.

At the end of 2007 he defended his national title in a tournament valid for 2008. At the "Copa Independencia" tournament in early 2008 he reached the final but lost to PanAm Champ Robert Alfonso.[2]

At the second Olympic qualifier he lost 3:4 to Michael Hunter jr. and didn't make it to Beijing.[3]

Professional

He turned pro in 2011 and beat American amateur stars Joey Dawejko and Jonte Willis and KOd undefeated countryman Eric Barrak (7-0) but was KOd by unknown Eric Martel Bahoeli (9-3) in 2013 and outpointed by Sylvera Louis (5-3) in 2014.
