Amateur

Chanet was French heavyweight (201 lb limit) champ from 1998- 2000. At the Euros he defeated Sebastian Köber (Germany), Magomed Aripgadjiev (Azerbaijan) and Emil Garai (Hungary) before earning a DQ victory over Russian southpaw Sultan Ibragimov DSQ-4 to win the European heavyweight crown. At the Olympics he lost the rematch against Ibragimov.
