Gentleman John Jackson (1769-1845) 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.
