René Jacquot (born 28 July 1961 in Toul, France) is a former professional boxer and world title holder.[1]

Professional career edit

Jacquot turned professional in 1983 and captured the WBC Light Middleweight Title in 1989 with an upset win over Donald Curry. He lost the belt in his first defence to John Mugabi, via TKO in the first round. In 1990 he challenged WBC Light Middleweight Title holder Terry Norris, but lost a decision. In his final bout, he took on IBF Light Middleweight Title holder Gianfranco Rosi later that year, but again lost a decision.
