Abdul Ali (Bengali: আব্দুল জ়াক; born 6 May 1969), better known as Ali Jacko (Bengali: আলি জ়াক), is an English former professional kickboxer who was two-time world lightweight kick-boxing champion. He also ran JKO Productions, which was part of the kickboxing promotion of Sky Sports and Channel 5.

Early life

Ali was born in the East End of London. He is of Bangladeshi descent[1] and lived in Bangladesh for six years.[2] His late father[3] Mohammed Chamak Ali was born in Farigow, Jawa Bazar, Chhatak in Sylhet District, Bengal Presidency (now Sunamganj, Bangladesh), British India.[4][5] Ali has three younger brothers and two younger sisters.[6]

Ali attended Sir John Cass Redcoat School. At an early age, he played Junior League football and became the BMX Freestyle Schoolboy champion. From 1987, at the age of 17, he ran his own fashion design and manufacturing business.[1]

Professional kickboxing career

In 1986, Ali started training as a kickboxer. On 2 December 1990,[4] he won his first B.I.K.M.A British lightweight kickboxing title. In February 1996, he won the W.M.O European kickboxing title. On 3 October 1999, he won the W.K.N World Inter-Continental Championship. On 26 May 1996, he defeated Frederic Pierre to win the W.K.O World lightweight kickboxing title at The Island in Ilford. In June 2000, Ali took his second World lightweight kickboxing title, this time in the World Kickboxing Network belt.[1][2][5][6][7][8][9]

Ali became the first Asian to win British, European, Inter-Continental and Work Full-Contact kickboxing championships. He had a 45 fight career,[1] with one defeat by submission due to injury.[4] Ali's manager and trainer Eddie Dujon took him through his British, European and World Championship fights.[8] Ali retired from kickboxing in 2002.[4]
