Jamie McDonnell Biography

Jamie McDonnell is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on March 30, 1986 in Doncaster, United Kingdom. Jamie McDonnell, a British professional boxer, was born 30 March 1986. He was the IBF bantamweight champion in 2013, and the WBA bantamweight champion from 2014 to 2018. He held the British bantamweight title twice, the Commonwealth bantamweight and European bantamweight titles from 2010 and 2011. He is also the twin brother to Gavin McDonnell, a fellow boxer.

McDonnell lost his second consecutive fight on 28 March 2008. He had traveled to Barnsley to face Bristol’s Lee Haskins. Haskins lost to Haskins in 8 rounds. Haskins was coming off a loss to Ian Napa, British bantamweight champion. Barnsley served as an eliminator to determine who would challenge Haskins for the Super Flyweight title, which Haskins would win.

Following two straight defeats to British level fighters, McDonnell regrouped by returning to Doncaster and beating journeyman Anthony Hanna via a fifth round stoppage. Two fights on the island of Jersey then followed with McDonnell scoring stoppage wins over imports Krastan Krastanov and Alain Bonnel before travelling back to Doncaster to defeat Scotland’s James Ancliff again before the final bell had been heard. On 22 January 2010 McDonnell got his chance to fight for the British title once more, this time for the bantamweight version held by the experienced Ian Napa. The fight, at the Brentwood Centre in Essex, saw a tough battle result in an upset split decision win for McDonnell with the added bonus of the vacant Commonwealth belt also being on the line.

On 31 May 2014, McDonnell fought Tamadang Da Rachawat for the WBA “regular” world championship belt on the undercard of Froch vs Groves II at Wembley Stadium. McDonnell won by TKO when he caught Rachawat with a left hook in the 10th round; despite getting to his feet, the referee decided that Rachawat was in no state to continue as he visibly stumbled after getting up.

McDonnell won his first title in his next fight against Bloy, a former victim on February 23, 2007. He scored a third-round stoppage to win the English bantamweight title. McDonnell, now the English champion, had an 8-0-1 record and had never fought outside Doncaster.

He was then defeated by Andy Bell, the future British super flyweight champion, over six rounds.

McDonnell defeated Nikita Lukin in eight rounds in his first fight outside of his hometown. McDonnell’s next fight was for the British superflyweight title at Wigan’s Robin Park Centre on 8 December 2007. This was the first fight for the British superflyweight title. After 12 intensely contested rounds, Edwards won the title by a split decision. This was the first defeat for Doncaster’s man.

McDonnell’s victory over Napa allowed him to step straight away into a challenge for the European title against the Frenchman Jerome Arnould. The fight, in Cannes on 20 March 2010, resulted in a surprise victory for the man from Doncaster with a 10th round stoppage over Arnould to lift his third title in a row. McDonnell made his first defence at the Doncaster Dome on 2 July 2010 against the newly crowned Italian champion Rodrigo Bracco and managed to retain the belt with a third round stoppage win. He returned to the Dome for his second defence on 22 January 2011 beating Belgian boxer Stephane Jamoye in a close contest with scores of 115–113 114–113 114–114 despite having a point deducted in the 11th round. McDonnell chose to defend the Commonwealth belt he won against Ian Napa in his next fight in Sheffield on 28 May 2011. Had he lost the contest then McDonnell would have been stripped of his European title but there were no such concerns as he scored a unanimous points decision over Kenyan Nick Otieno. Following the fight, promoter Frank Maloney said that a potential unification match with British champion Stuart Hall could be on the cards and that it was a fight that both the fans and the boxers themselves wanted to happen. Jamie Mcdonnell fought Stuart Hall on 3 September 2011 and won via unanimous decision to reclaim the British title.
