Rafferty makes history as GSW’s first boxing world champion

General Sports Worldwide has its first boxing world champion after Jack Rafferty’s momentous victory which marks a new chapter in his career.

The Manchester-born fighter, known as the ‘Demolition Man’, claimed the vacant IBO World Welterweight Championship with a unanimous points victory over Hovhannes Martirosyan.

His achievement represents a hugely significant milestone, not only for Rafferty personally but also for GSW, which now celebrates its first world champion in boxing.

GSW Chief Executive Officer Sam Rush said: “Everyone at GSW is immensely proud of Jack. His journey to becoming world champion has been built around hard work and perseverance and we are honoured to have supported him along the way.

“Jack is our first boxing world champion and he will always hold a special place in the history of the company.”

Rafferty’s success is the culmination of years of dedication, sacrifice and commitment, with his world title triumph providing a moment of immense pride for everyone who has been part of his journey.

His victory was even sweeter as he achieved it in his home city of Manchester in front of a swathe of partisan supporters.

Everyone at GSW congratulates Jack on his outstanding achievement and looks forward to supporting him as his journey continues.
