Jeremy "Jez" Wilson (born 22 June 1979) is a British professional boxer who fights at middleweight. He is originally from Wolverhampton but has been based in Sheffield for his entire career.

Wilson's interest in boxing started as a teenager but he was a relative latecomer to the professional ranks, turning professional at 27. [1]

He made his debut at the Grosvenor Hotel in Sheffield in April 2007 and stopped Peter Cannon in round five. Since then, he has suffered a series of injuries and has also seen his career slowed down by multiple pull-outs by opponents. Being a bit more active in 2012–13 saw him pick up the BBBofC Central Area and British Masters middleweight titles.

In April 2014, Wilson faced John Ryder in a British title eliminator at the York Hall, Bethnal Green. [2] Ryder stopped him in the ninth round, breaking his jaw in two places.

Wilson returned in September 2015, beating Dan Blackwell on points. [3] In November 2015, Wilson challenged for Lewis Taylor's English middleweight title. Taylor stopped him in the fifth round. [4] Wilson tested positive for the diuretic furosemide after the fight, and in March 2016 received a two-year ban from the sport, despite the UKAD accepting that he had taken the drug inadvertently. [5] [6]

Wilson is managed and trained by Glyn Rhodes and is under contract to Ricky Hatton's Hatton Promotions.
