Jeremy "Jez" Wilson (born 22 June 1979) is a British professional boxer who fights at middleweight. He is originally from Wolverhampton but has been based in Sheffield for his entire career.
Wilson's interest in boxing started as a teenager but he was a relative latecomer to the professional ranks, turning professional at 27.
He made his debut at the Grosvenor Hotel in Sheffield in April 2007 and stopped Peter Cannon in round five. Since then, he has suffered a series of injuries and has also seen his career slowed down by multiple pull-outs by opponents. Being a bit more active in 2012–13 saw him pick up the BBBofC Central Area and British Masters middleweight titles.
In April 2014, Wilson faced John Ryder in a British title eliminator at the York Hall, Bethnal Green. Ryder stopped him in the ninth round, breaking his jaw in two places.
