Why they are here
The Ripper: WBC super-middleweight champion and later a cruiserweight world champion, and by a distance the most successful boxer The Gambia has produced.
Badou Jack was born in Stockholm to a Gambian father and a Swedish mother, and boxed for Sweden at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 before turning professional and choosing to fight under the Gambian flag.
He won the WBC super-middleweight title in 2015 by beating Anthony Dirrell, defended it, and drew with James DeGale in a unification fight that was named among the best of the year. He moved up and took a light-heavyweight title, and later a cruiserweight world championship, making him a champion at three weights.
He is the only Gambian to have held a major world boxing title, and has put a large part of his purse money into refugee relief and into the Badou Jack Foundation, which works in The Gambia and elsewhere.
