Anyway, unbeaten world champion. Seems a decent record he should be proud of.
Has anyone retired with a longer unbeaten and more untested record than this?

I always thought Lester Jacobs would be black with that name and coming from Peckham!billy bessey wrote:I've just been geeking it looking through records and I came across this fella. Anyone know why he didn't try to progress further? Also does anyone know of any retired unbeaten boxer that Record without winning at least a British title?

As of 04/07/2017 that picture being used is not Lester Jacobs.
I think he was happy putting some of the shows together and taking on guys he had a good chance of beating.
The Delroy Leslie fight was in the balance until the cut.
Bigger fights got mentioned from time to time, but never materialised.

hahaha, that photo of "lester" made me laugh.
as The Butch says, thats definitely not Lester Jacobs, unless he has undergone some Michael Jackson skin lightening ;)
