BIOGRAPHY

Jack started boxing aged eight and won his first All-Ireland title at eleven. In 2021, aged 18, he became the second youngest national heavyweight champion in Irish amateur history. He won a bronze medal at the European U22 Championships in 2021, and turned that to gold in 2022. Last year he clinched Olympic qualification by winning silver at the European Games in Krakow where his semi-final victory over Spain’s world bronze medallist Emmanuel Reyes Pla was vital. It not only made him Monkstown BC’s first Olympian but the first Irish heavyweight to win a major international medal in over sixty years. This year Jack was a bronze medallist at Strandja and lost to Belgium’s Victor Schelstraete in a split decision at the Europeans in April.
