DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, this week announced its official sponsorship of Japanese professional angler Takumi Ito as he competes in the Bassmaster Elite Series.
“We’re excited to team up with Takumi as he challenges the top global contenders in these tournaments. Inspired by passion and a can-do spirit, Takumi shares the same attributes that are part of our winning formula at DHL,” said Mike Parra, CEO Americas and Global Head of Sponsorships. “DHL will continue to support Takumi in his mission to connect fans in Japan and the U.S., inspiring them through his performance in these professional fishing tournaments.”
Said Ito: “I am honored to receive the support from a global company like DHL. It has been my dream since childhood to participate in this competition in the United States, the home of the professional bass fishing sport. I will do my best this 2023 season, aiming to win one Bassmaster Elite Series event and the Bassmaster Classic as well as increase my annual ranking from last year.”
