Jeremy "Jez" Wilson (born 22 June 1979) is a British professional boxer who fights at middleweight. He is originally from Wolverhampton but has been based in Sheffield for his entire career.
Wilson's interest in boxing started as a teenager but he was a relative latecomer to the professional ranks, turning professional at 27.[1]
He made his debut at the Grosvenor Hotel in Sheffield in April 2007 and stopped Peter Cannon in round five. Since then, he has suffered a series of injuries and has also seen his career slowed down by multiple pull-outs by opponents. Being a bit more active in 2012–13 has seen him pick up the central area middleweight title and the British masters middleweight title, moving towards a tilt at the English or British title later in 2013.
Wilson is managed and trained by Glyn Rhodes and is under contract to Ricky Hatton's Hatton Promotions.
