Jeremiah "Joe" Jeannette (also Jennette) (August 26, 1879 – July 2, 1958) was an American boxer, considered one of the best heavyweight boxers of the early 20th century. Because he was African-American, he was not given a shot at the world heavyweight title, though he did win the World Colored Heavyweight Championship on two occasions.
