Press Release: 2000 Olympian and former IBF super middleweight champion Jeff “Left Hook” Lacy has signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions. “This was the perfect fit for me at this point in my career and I’m excited about joining the other great fighters on the Golden Boy Promotions team,” said the 30-year-old Lacy, owner of a 22-1 record with 17 knockouts.  “I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring and showing everyone that I’m one of the best fighters in the world today.  Most importantly, I want my title back, and I’m going get it in 2008.”  Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar de la Hoya added, “I’ve followed Jeff’s career since he was an amateur and I always considered him not only one of the most talented fighters out there, but one of the most exciting.  The fans will be in for a treat every time he steps into the ring, and we’re proud to have him on our team.” A stellar amateur who compiled a record of 209-12 over a career that culminated in a trip to the 2000 Olympic Games, Lacy won theIBF belt when he stopped Syd Vanderpool in eight rounds on October 2, 2004.  Lacy defended his title four times before falling short via decision in a unification bout against Joe Calzaghe.
