Josh Jauncey (born February 10, 1993) is an English-born Canadian kickboxer who competes in the Glory Lightweight division.

He was ranked in the Combat Press Lightweight top ten between October 2015 and December 2016.

Career

Jauncey made his Glory debut during Glory 16, when he was scheduled to fight Warren Stevelmans. The fight went into an extra round, after which Jauncey won a decision.

Jauncey fought Jae Gil Noh during Glory 18, which he won by a second round KO.

He was scheduled to fight Max Baumert during Glory 19. Josh won the fight by a third round TKO.

Jauncey participated in the 2015 Lightweight Contender Tournament. He defeated Djime Coulibaly by TKO, at the tail end of the second round. He met Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong in the finals, and lost by unanimous decision.

After losing the tournament finals, Jauncey was scheduled to fight the pound for pound great Giorgio Petrosyan. He lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Jauncey then went on a 6-3 run, ending on a three fight winning streak, capped off with a split decision win over Christian Baya. His three fight winning streak earned him a chance to rematch Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong for the Glory Lightweight Championship. Sitthichai once again won the fight by unanimous decision.

After his failed title bid, Jauncey lost his next fight to Tyjani Beztati by decision as well. In his next two fights, Jauncey was scheduled to fight Lorawnt Nelson and Stoyan Koprivlenski, both of which he won by decision.

Jauncey was booked to challenge the reigning Glory Lightweight champion Tyjani Beztati at Glory 80 Studio on May 14, 2022.
