Early life

Jack Samuel Bateson was born on 3 June 1994 in Leeds, England. He began boxing at the age of nine, explaining in an interview with Boxing Social, "I only started boxing when I were about nine because me older brother Tom packed up and I felt a bit sorry for me dad who coached him".[2] He had his first amateur fight at the age of 12[3] and remained unbeaten in 12 bouts before suffering his first defeat while representing England, saying on the loss, "Before I knew it, I were unbeaten in 12 and boxing for England against Ireland. I lost by a point and cried my eyes out. I never wanted to experience that pain again."[2]

He attended Allerton High School in Alwoodley, Leeds, achieving 10 GCSEs, before gaining a triple distinction in an Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence course, eventually moving on to study for a foundation degree in Sports Coaching.[4]

During an amateur career in which he competed for Team GB, securing over 100 wins from 120 fights,[2] he won gold medals at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games, the ABA Championships in 2012 at light-flyweight and again the following year at flyweight, and a bronze medal at the 2013 European Championships. He also competed at the 2011 European Youth Championships, 2012 Youth World Championships, 2013 World Championships and the 2014 European Union Championships.[5]
