Jack Randall (25 November 1794 – 12 March 1828), nicknamed "The Nonpareil", was an exceptional English bare-knuckle boxer, dominant at his weight class, who fought from 1815 to 1822, and retired undefeated. Colonel Barton was his most frequent patron.
Born in London in St. Giles, of Irish ancestry and standing only 5'6" tall, the compact and sturdy Randall was one of the dominant pugilists of his era, winning all of his 16 fights. Those who observed him in the ring described him as a deft pugilist able to adapt to any style, a great offensive and defensive combatant and an effective finisher. Credited as the inventor of the one-two punch, a left jab followed by a rapid right cross, Randall conquered Ned Turner, twice defeated Jack Martin, and starred in a stage version of his ring exploits at London's Regency Theatre.
