Introduction

Jeff Horn (born 4 February 1988 in Brisbane, Queensland) is a professional Australian boxer who competed at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Baku and was selected for the 2012 Summer Olympics in the light welterweight division. His first professional bout was against Jody Allen in March 2013.
A relative newcomer to the sport, Horn won his first Australian title in 2009 and repeated the feat in 2011. He went on to win a silver medal at the Gee-Bee Tournament in Helsinki and compete at the 2011 World Championships where he lost to eventual champion Everton Lopes in the second round. In 2012, he picked up his third Australian title and first Oceania title to earn a spot at the London Olympics.
On the 21st October 2016, Horn fought Rico Mueller, defeating the German by TKO in the 9th Round. Placing him as the no.2 ranked fighter in the division.
Horn is set to face WBO Welterweight Champion Manny Pacquiao on April 23, 2017. The announcement of the fight was met with relative surprise and disappointment due to Horn's limited exposure on the world stage which lead Pacquiao to comment "I don't know who Jeff Horn is."
