Jeff Jackson

Hey boxing heads,

It is regrettable for me to announce that I have officially uploaded the final video of my channel as I have been unable to resolve the ongoing issues with YouTube due to their "updated T&C" as it meant the end for me and there is no way to turn this around anymore. I was a little too optimistic in believing that I could overcome this issue as I did several times before but seems to me this time, it really is the end for me.

I am truly sorry that I cannot continue doing what I love for you guys, despite the fact that I wish I could do this and only this as a career but I am now left with no choice but to let it go. Believe me when I say, I love what I do so much that despite the fact my earnings are often unpredictable and had been declining for almost 2 years it did not stop me in any way as my love for the sport far transcends my desire to earn more from being a content creator. Perhaps, it is not something that's easy to believe but I have had other options thrown my way and if I was more of a pragmatic individual I would probably go for it rather than choosing to continue doing what I've always done.

Most of the time, I am aware that certain fight highlights will not likely result in as many views but due to my love for the sport I just feel like there are least known fights and fighters that I have to highlight for boxing fans whether it will generate lots of views or not. Frankly, I am a boxing fan first and content creator second, that's why I have never resorted to using excessive theatrics, clickbait titles and thumbnails even though I notice that it does result in greater views and subscribers count. Call me crazy, but I prefer to keep it as real as possible even if it meant that I will lose out to creators that's willing to do these things.

I was also told that it was pointless for me to do all the research just to write a thorough description as most viewers will only focus on the video itself. Way I see it, I loved doing that and also I believe that it is up to anyone to choose whether they will read the description or not but I will put it up regardless. If that is not proof of how much I love the sport, I really don't know what is.

Good news is, all of my videos will remain available in my channel so I hope you guys continue watching them because it means a lot to me just knowing that my hard work is still and will be appreciated by boxing fans. While it's a shame that YouTube has chosen to do this to me (and many creators from what I heard) but still, it will never diminish my love for the sport and my gratitude for all the support shown for over a decade.

Jeff Jackson Boxing lasted 11 years, 127 days.

I can only imagine life beyond what I have done for so long as I have had the privilege of doing what I loved for about 1/3 of my life.

THANK YOU. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. The love and support shown will never be forgotten by me no matter where I will go from here on. Once again, I am truly sorry to have to stop doing this for you guys and I say this with a very heavy heart.

So guys, remember to continue showing love for this great sport and KEEP PUNCHING! 🥊

Hey boxing heads,

It is with a heavy heart that I bring the bad news; I have been pretty much canceled and my career is over.

It has become apparent the YouTube team has no interest in helping me to save my channel. Seems to me, I have been canceled despite having done no wrong as according to them, it's due to some of their "updated policies" that somehow automatically meant that my contents are now in violation of their terms despite the fact that my contents met their T&C over a decade ago.

I have been creating the same type of contents. Boxing highlights and compilations without excessive use of effects, music etc. to keep it as simple and as natural as possible. Because of the support shown by so many, I was motivated to continue creating such contents for the boxing community here while staying as loyal as possible to what was expected of me.

Now, according to the YouTube team my contents are suddenly in violation of their updated T&C thus the reason of me being canceled and my appeal was rejected without much consideration. They have chosen to push a button to ruin over a decade of my hard work, which is something the team acknowledged as something devastating yet they did it anyway and despite how they called themselves the support team I was offered little to no support other than more vague explanations as to how I have violated their terms.

Apparently, I have been canceled but the specifics as to why I was canceled will never be provided to me. I thought I deserved at least a genuine, believable explanation as to why 11 years of my hard work are taken away so unjustly. Tt was never against their terms all along and out of the blue, a simple update changed everything. According to the so-called support team, I did not even deserve to know the truth.

Perhaps, I might also have been phased out by the emergence of so many new, fast growing channels as of late with more sophisticated editing as compared to mine which I choose to keep as simple as possible.

No matter what happens, I will never ever forget the love and support I've received from all my subscribers and the boxing community on YouTube. At this very moment, my subscribers count stands at 533,514 with over 363.6 million views. No words can truly express my gratitude for the support and loyalty I've experienced in over a decade of being a creator.

In 2014, when I realized that my channel was growing really well I have decided to give up the opportunity to pursue a day job and focus on growing my channel instead as the support was increasing day by day. It was a very risky decision, as I was financially on shaky ground and practically speaking I should've opted for the safe option of having a day job yet I took that dive and the satisfaction of seeing more and more boxing lovers enjoy my contents was more rewarding than anything.

Even the offer of 5 figure pay wouldn't stop me from doing what I loved or the opportunity to start a business as I had been approached several times if it meant giving up Jeff Jackson Boxing! I don't regret anything for making that decision in 2014. I still say it was the best decision I have made to commit myself to create contents for the sport I have loved for over 30 years.

Once again, a huge thank you to each and everyone of you and remember to continue watching and show your love for this great sport and most importantly don't forget to KEEP PUNCHING at all times!

Hey guys, as you guys know I have not been uploading for over a month now. This is due to some issues with YouTube which I am still trying to sort out. I certainly want to continue creating and uploading contents as I have been doing for well over a decade now but unfortunately, I might be in danger of having to discontinue if these issues with YouTube cannot be resolved.

For now, I hope you guys can continue watching the contents I have uploaded and I will try to end this problem as soon as I can so that I can continue doing what I've always loved doing as a lifelong boxing fan.

I just want to say that I truly appreciate all of the support that has been shown to me in over 10 years. I can't thank you guys enough for that and it would sadden me a great deal if I really have no choice but to quit doing what I love doing more than anything else.

I will let you guys know in due time and I do hope I have good news to share.

Once again, I am grateful for all your support and remember to keep punching at all times!

After rewatching Crawford's spectacular victory over Spence multiple times, I have to say I get more and more impressed with each viewing. I believe like many, I did not expect a dominant performance by either man.

With Crawford achieving his most significant career win, what should be his next move?

Should he move up in weight or face his IBF mandatory Jaron Ennis?

2 UNDEFEATED FIGHTERS will collide in a superfight in just a few days!

Most seems to favor Inoue but is there a possibility of an upset by Fulton?

Let me know what you think the outcome will be.

Jeff Jackson

Julian Jackson aka “The Hawk” (born September 12th, 1960) fought professionally from February 1981 to May 1998. He is universally recognized as one of the hardest punchers P4P in boxing history. He scored many devastating highlight-reel worthy knockouts with his INSANE POWER (often with single blows) throughout his 17 year career.

Jackson had a short amateur stint where he compiled a record of 15-2. He represented his birthplace of United States Virgin Islands (an unincorporated United States Territory) at the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

On February 2nd 1981, he made his pro debut in Puerto Rico and his 1st appearance in the United States in September of the same year where he defeated Dario De Asa via KO3.

Between March 1982 & January 1984, he racked up a streak of 10(9)-0 before scoring a KO2 win over former Lineal Light Middleweight Champion Eddie Gazo. Later on, he scored another impressive streak of 12(12)-0 in a span of 2 years before earning his 1st world title shot against “The Bodysnatcher” Mike McCallum for the WBA Super Welterweight Title on August 23rd 1986.

Jackson managed to rock McCallum a number of times in round 1 but the more experienced McCallum managed to stop him in round 2 after taking The Hawk’s early thunder.

In a 2010 interview with Ringside Report, McCallum stated that he definitely felt Julian Jackson’s INSANE POWER and that he was the hardest puncher he ever faced and that includes EVERY FIGHTER he has ever worked with;

“Oh Man! Julian Jackson was THE hardest puncher I ever fought in the game. That includes all the fighters that I sparred with, worked with or fought with. None of them punched harder than Julian Jackson…”

After being handed his 1st career loss, he rebounded with 2 low key wins before gaining his 2nd world title shot on November 21st 1987 against In Chul Baek for the vacant WBA Super Welterweight Title where he soared a KO3 victory over the gutsy South Korean to become world champion for the 1st time.

13 months later, Baek went on to bag the WBA Super Middleweight Championship via KO10 over former Marvin Hagler opponent Fulgencio Obelmejias.

Between July 1988 & 1989, he went 3(3)-0 in title defenses before moving up to 160 pounds in 1990 where he picked up 2 victories to garner the opportunity to fight for the vacant WBC Middleweight Championship against the crafty Nottinghamian, Herol “Bomber” Graham on November 24th of the same year.

From the get go, Graham outclsssed Jackson with his slick southpaw, stick & move style to the point that referee Joe Cortez notified him in his corner before the start of round 4 that he had 1 round left as his eyes were swelling shut from the punishment dished out by one of Britain’s most avoided fighters.

However, with a little more than a 1.5 minute before an impending stoppage, Jackson scored 1 of the most memorable come-from-behind finishes of all time with a blinding counter right hand which flattened Graham for about 20 minutes to become world champion in 2 weight classes.

Between September & December 1991, he went 4(3)-0 in successful title defenses.

On May 8th 1993, Jackson was dethroned by Gerald McClellan aka “The G-Man” in a slugfest named Fight of the Year by Ring Magazine. He bombed McClellan with his best shots in the 1st couple of rounds, but the younger man who was also a destructive puncher, rebounded to stop the veteran powerhouse in round 5.

In a rematch 1 year later, he was stopped in 83 seconds as he entered the bout with a rib injury and was beginning to show signs of decline.

However, he had not lost his unparalleled punching power.

On March 17th 1995, he became the 2x WBC Middleweight Champion with a TKO2 triumph over former EBU Middleweight Champion Agostino Cardamone.

In August of the same year, he was dethroned by Quincy Taylor via TKO6 in the 1st defense of his WBC title.

Between September 1996 and May 1998, Jackson went 4(2)-2 and retired with a final record of 55(49)-6.

The Hawk hold commendable victories over Agostino Cardamone, In Chul Baek, Thomas Tate, Dennis Milton, Eddie Gazo, Buster Drayton, Terry Norris & Herol Graham.

He was the former WBA Super Welterweight Champion & the former 2x WBC Middleweight Champion.

In retirement, Julian Jackson joined his local ministry and established the I Believe I Can Fly boxing gym in his birthplace of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands where he still lives. He has also been largely involved with the V.I. Amateur Boxing Federation which serves as a hub for youngsters to learn boxing and keeping their lives together.

What are your thoughts on Sugar Shane Mosley?

Hey boxing heads, let's assume that Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder happens this year...

Considering the fact that it is several years too late and at this point, both are not quite at their bests anymore.

Who wins and how if it takes places in 2023?
