Jabbour, who trains out of Crockers Gym under veteran trainer Vito Gaudiosi, has been a recent tear, having claimed the NSW and Australian light-heavyweight titles in quick succession.
A win at the Oceania Titles would put him on the path to a spot on the Australian team for next year’s Youth World Championships, and ultimately a shot at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
“This is the path he’s set out for himself and he’s progressing really, really well,” Gaudiosi said.
“He’s still a relative novice, so to have won a national title after only 14 fights is very impressive for the young man.
“He’s really dedicated to his craft and he’s worked really, really hard. We’ve still got a lot of hard work in front of us but he’s definitely on the right path.”
