Here are 10 Facts about English Boxer, Jordan Gill, You Should Know

1. Jordan Gill’s Father was an Amateur Boxer

A post shared by Matchroom Boxing (@matchroomboxing)

There are many wrestlers from the United Kingdom and quite a few from Cambridge but in the exact hometown Jordan Gill hails, there aren’t many professional athletes from there.

Jordan Gill is from Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

He was born on July 1, 1994, to parents named Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gill.

Mr. Paul is a former amateur boxer and coach of a local boxing club. He is dedicated to passing down his knowledge and expertise to the younger generation.

Mr. Paul Gill’s career also had an influence on his son’s decision to become a professional fighter.

2. His First Professional Match in 2012 ended in a Win

Jordan made his professional debut on July 7, 2012, against Kristian Laight. The match which was held at the Sheffield Arena, ended in a win for Jordan.

This win set the precedence for more wins and boosted Gill’s confidence for more wins. He has competed in the featherweight, Super-featherweight, and lightweight boxing categories.

3. Jordan Gill is a Commonwealth Featherweight

The Cambridgeshire boxer competed for the Commonwealth featherweight boxing title in 2018. He challenged the then-champion, Ryan Doyle for the title on October 27, 2018, and defeated him.

The match ended in the seventh round when the referee had to stop the contest following Jordan’s barrage of punches. He was then awarded the title of the new Commonwealth Champion.

4. The Featherweight Fighter is Fluent in Southpaw Stance

Jordan Gill knows how to fight using both Orthodox and Southpaw stances. However, he is more fluent in the Southpaw style of fighting.

He is a 5 feet, 5 inches tall boxer and his use of Southpaw stance in fighting has helped him achieve more wins in his professional career.

5. He has won over 95% of His Fights

As of December 2023, Gill had fought 31 matches and won 28 of them. He lost his matches twice and has 1 draw.

Gill’s first loss was against Mario Enrique Tinoco in 2019 and 3 years later, he suffered his second loss in a match against Kiko Martinez on October 29, 2022.

He lost the fight in the fourth round which led to him relinquishing his European Featherweight title.

After this defeat, the English boxer took a long break from boxing. He only resurfaced a little over a year later.

Of all his wins, Jordan has a 29% KO statistic, winning only 9 of them with Knock Outs.

6. Jordan Gill owns a Gym

Jordan Gill is the owner of Box Cross Gym whose first location is Wisbech. The gym is looking to open another location in Peterborough in 2024.

The gym which has a boxing ring, offers boxers and other gym enthusiasts a place to spar and workout.

Box Cross also has a mobile app for download on the Apple Store.

7. He is Passionate about Charity

A post shared by Jordan Gill: Next Generation (@jgnxtgen)

The one-time Commonwealth champion boxer, Gill, is a huge philanthropist. He has a wide appetite for charity and has a charity organization to this effect.

Jordan Gill: Next Generation is the name of the boxer’s organization. It is part of another charity program known as We Raise the Game.

Jordan Gill: Next Generation also known as jgnxtgen, has a good number of programs set out to help the people of the Cambridgeshire community.

They hold outreaches, boxing training for both young and old people as well as one-on-one private coaching.

Jordan’s father, Paul Gill is all hands on deck in this organization. According to his Instagram bio, he is a young people’s worker for the foundation.

8. The Professional Boxer was Married

This information isn’t one you would readily get when you search for Jordan Gill. However, the 30-year-old boxer was once married.

The details of his marriage, union, and subsequent divorce weren’t as public as Gill’s professional career.

In fact, most people only knew about the athlete’s failed marriage when it became a reason for a decision the boxer made in a depressed state of mind.

9. Jordan Gill Attempted Suicide

Sometime in 2022, the news about Gill’s marriage divorce was brought to light because he was going through a lot.

Upon losing his European Featherweight title and securing his second professional loss in 10 years, Jordan revealed that there was more to his woes.

According to the boxer, he was in a very rough place emotionally. He even attempted to take his life because of what he went through. After his second loss, his marriage came crashing down and so did other things in his life.

His plan of committing suicide was thwarted on June 30, 2022, by someone who saw him on the verge of the act.

Luckily for him, he was able to get help from close friends and family and bounced back mentally and professionally.

10. Gill is Yet to Win a Major World Title

In his over 10 years of professional boxing, Jordan Gill is yet to have a major world title belt. He has competed in featherweight (and won a Commonwealth title for this), Super-featherweight, and lightweight categories but is yet to have any world title.

Maybe sometime soon, the boxer will compete for, and win a WBA, WBO, WBC, or IBF major titles.
