Boxing Newfoundland announced today that Jason Hayward has been selected by the Canadian Amateur Boxing Association to attend the President's Cup, a prestigious international amateur boxing competition in West Java, Indonesia from July 20 to 27.

Hayward, a former intermediate international champion, is also a two time silver medallist as a senior boxer. He has competed international for Canada on two previous occasions, and was a gold medal winner Greece, in 1995.

Hayward will box at 112 lb (fly-weight), and will form part of a five man team, plus coaching staff in Indonesia. He is looking forward to this experience, "I've been working very hard over the past few weeks, knowing that I was been considered for an international competition," said Hayward. "I understand it will be extremely hot and humid in West Java at that time of year, so conditioning will play an important factor."

Hayward boxes out of the I.J. Samson gym in St. John's and is coached by Robert Wall (Sr).
