description: "John Jackson was a celebrated English pugilist of the late 18th century. He is sometimes described in 20th and 21st century sources as having been the bare-knuckle boxing champion of England in 1795, after defeating Daniel Mendoza. However, sources from the 1790s and subsequent decades never describe either Jackson or Mendoza as having been champions of England."
