"Gentleman" John Jackson (28 September 1769 - 7 October 1845) was a celebrated pugilist of the late 1700s.
Jackson's 1795 championship claim was the only such title in his career.
He made a fortune from boxing lessons given to nobles, politicians and other distinguished men. Lord Byron relates in his diary that he received instruction in boxing from Jackson at his highly frequented Bond Street academy.
Jackson died in 1845 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.[1]
