The 46-year-old from Newton Mearns is taking part in a charity, white-collar boxing match in Glasgow next month to raise money for the Royal Hospital for Sick Children (Yorkhill) and the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre . One of the most accomplished boxers Scotland has ever produced, Jacobs won British, Commonwealth and European titles and challenged American superstar Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker for his WBC world title in 1994 when Whitaker was the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, losing by decision. On Saturday, October 6, he will face Craig Millard from Edinburgh at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow as part of the Fortune Favours the Bold event, organised by SK Boxing Promotions
