Clinton Jackson (born May 20, 1954) is an American former boxer, who competed on behalf of the U.S. in the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Born in Evergreen, Alabama, Jackson turned professional in 1979 but never achieved the results that he had as an amateur. He failed to win a fight against any significant opposition, and lost decisions to notables pros James Shuler, Sumbu Kalambay, and Buster Drayton. Jackson retired after a knockout win in October 1985.
In 1989, Jackson, a former sheriff's deputy, was convicted of kidnapping an Alabama banker in an extortion scheme, in which he demanded US$9,000. In 1992, an Associated Press article reported that Jackson was serving a life sentence in an Alabama prison inmate #00154880. According to Sports Illustrated, he was still serving a life sentence as of January 2015.
