Daniel Otter is a Canadian businessman and professional boxing promoter with Three Lions Promotions, based in Ontario, Canada. Since 2016, the boxing events are held across Canada.[1][2][3][4][5][6] On October 21, 2021, Three Lions co-promoted the first WBC World Bridgerweight title in Montreal, which was broadcast world wide on ESPN.[7]

In May 2022, Otter and his company promoted the WBC Cruiserweight International title in which Ryan Rozicki won by a split decision against undefeated former Olympian Yamil Peralta of Argentina. The bout drew criticism from the boxing world for the controversial decision.[8][9][10] The WBC International title was declared vacant within 24 hours and the decision nullified.[11]

In 2023, Otter promoted the WBC Final Eliminator bout at The Emera Centre in North Sydney, Nova Scotia which produced the number 1 challenger for the WBC Cruiserweight World Title. [12] [13]

As of January 2024, Otter’s company started negotiations with American boxing promoter Don King to finalize a date and venue for the WBC world title fight. If Otter has his way, the title fight will be held on Canadian soil sometime in 2024. [14] [15]
