Jeffrey Horn (born 4 February 1988) is an Australian professional boxer. He has held the WBO welterweight title since July 2017, after defeating Manny Pacquiao in an upset decision. As an amateur, Horn represented Australia at the 2012 Olympics, reaching the quarter-finals of the light-welterweight bracket.
As 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 AIBA World Boxing Championships in Baku 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.
Men's Light Welter (64 kg)
Horn made his professional debut in Altona North, Victoria, Australia on 1 March 2013 winning a 2nd-round technical knockout. On 27 April 2016, Horn faced former two-division world champion Randall Bailey. After dropping Bailey in the second round, Horn was knocked down in the third round. Horn won by TKO after Bailey refused to get up from his corner before Round 8. On 21 October 2016, Horn fought Rico Mueller, and defeated the German by TKO in Round 9. After the fight, the World Boxing Organization ranked him the #2 welterweight in the world. On 10 December 2016, Horn faced former IBO welterweight champion Ali Funeka, whom he stopped in the sixth round. With Top Rank promoter Bob Arum in attendance, his win set up a potential showdown with eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
