The 31-year-old cruiserweight is determined to be as successful as possible for wife Amber and their 14-month-old tot Bonnie, and he recalled how his little girl gave him the push he needed to take the European crown at the expense of Isaac Chamberlain.

He recalled to Boxing News magazine: “I needed to push at the back end of the fight.

“I had my little girl’s name on my shorts and on my gloves, and it was actually one of the rounds when I was sat in the corner, and looked at her name on my gloves.

“Even leading up to the fight, it was all for her, our little family.

“Even in training, building up to it, it’s in your mind, it gives you that extra portion.

“It’s all about securing a future for my family now.”

Jack used to work in a break pad factory with his dad, who has been there for 40 years, and is also driven by some advice he was given by his parent.

He said: “I can always remember my dad coming up to me and saying, ‘Do you want to be stuck in here doing this for the rest of your life or do you want to make something of the boxing?’

“And that played a massive part. It’s always stuck with me.

“Going through boxing, it’s always been like, ‘I need to make something of this’, so I’m going to stick with it.

“I might get everything thrown at me – injuries and setbacks and whatever – but you keep pushing through and your time will eventually come.”
