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]
