Jack Bodell (11 August 1940 – 9 November 2016) was an English professional boxer who competed in the heavyweight division.
Boxing career
Born in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, Bodell started out as a light heavyweight, winning the 1961 ABA championships and a bronze medal at the European amateur championships the same year. Bodell turned professional in 1962 and won the British heavyweight championship in 1969, before losing it to Henry Cooper in his first defense. Bodell regained the title a year later by outpointing Joe Bugner. He lost the European title in 1971 after a defeat by Spaniard José Manuel Urtaín, and after losing both his British and Commonwealth titles to a second-round knockout by Danny McAlinden in June 1972, he retired from professional boxing.
Among his notable fights were a first-round knockout loss to Jerry Quarry after just 64 seconds, and a points win over future world title contender José Roman. Bodell's record was 58 wins (including 31 by knockout) and 13 losses. He died on 9 November 2016 at the age of 76.[1]
