Jacob Robinson is Wales' new featherweight Champion. Having been absent from the ring for the past 19months, Jacob returned to take the crown winning Angelo Dragone (5-3).
Jacob is a double jabber, which makes it difficult for any opponent to know what is coming next. Dubbed Baby Jake, by his uncle Leon, this fight was in honour and memory to one of the men who inspired him and had always championed in Jakes corner, in and out of the ring.
The win, is also a dedication to his baby son Noah.
This was no ordinary fight, this is about legacy! as Jacob won the same fight as his father Stephen Robinson back 1993, both at the same weight, which is a rarity.
Stephen Robinson, took the title after 48 hrs noticed and has encouraged both his sons, in the sport ever since. The BOMB had the pleasure of meeting the father and son duo, in celebration of all they had both achieved and in hope of what is in front of them.
Stephen, hopes to open his own gym to train and inspire other Welsh professionals and Jacob, hopes to keep up the consistency in the ring, and to remember his "why" to be a powerful representation of discipline, consistency and showmanship.
He intends to remain the champ and prove that the Robinsons are here to stay!
Oh and Donna Ali, coined the name - double jab Jake, just for the record!
