Jamie McDonnell (born 30 March 1986) is a professional boxer from Hatfield, Doncaster, England who currently holds the WBA World Bantamweight Title.
He is the former IBF World Bantamweight champion, European, Commonwealth and BBBofC bantamweight champion. He is the twin brother of fellow boxer Gavin McDonnell. As of May 2017, he is ranked as the world's second best bantamweight by BoxRec and The Ring magazine, and fifth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.
McDonnell had his first professional contest in September 2005 when he scored a points win over Neal Reid at the Doncaster Dome. He won his next three fights before meeting Welshman Dai Davies again at the Dome and scoring a draw over 4 rounds. On 13 October 2006 McDonnell beat Wayne Bloy over 4 rounds and in December of the same year he defeated future British super flyweight champion Andy Bell over six rounds.
McDonnell's first title came in his next fight, meeting former victim Bloy on 23 February 2007 and scoring a third round stoppage to lift the English bantamweight title. The newly crowned English champion now had a record of 8–0–1 and had never fought outside of Doncaster professionally.
