Joey "The Jab" Singleton (born 2 June 1951) is a former British professional boxer who competed from 1973 to 1982. He is a former British light-welterweight champion.

Early life

Singleton was born on 2 June 1951 in, Liverpool, England. He won a full set of titles as a talented amateur fighter, including National Schools, Junior ABA and then senior ABA crown in 1971. He represented Britain a dozen times, winning gold medals at two multi-national tournaments before turning professional under revered fight guru Charles Atkinson.[1]

Professional career

Singleton made his professional debut on 27 March 1973, when he beat Barton McAllister on points. On 5 May, in his third professional bout, he beat Jess Harper for the vacant BBBofC central area light-welterweight title. On 21 November 1974, he beat Part McCormack for the British light-welterweight title.[2] Singleton successfully retained the title twice, beating Alan Salter after the referee stopped the bout in the ninth round, due to a cut on Salter's left eyebrow, and then Des Morrison, beaten on points. On 1 June 1976, Singleton lost the title to Dave Boy Green after he was forced to retire from the bout, due to cuts over both eyes.[3]

Singleton moved up to welterweight, and on 4 February 1980, beat Terry Peterson on points to claim the BBBofC central area welterweight title. On 17 April 1980, he challenged Jørgen Hansen for the European welterweight title, losing by a unanimous decision.[4] On 26 October 1980 he successfully defended his central area welterweight title by beating Lee Hartshorn on points.[3]
