Colin Raymond Jones MBE (born 21 March 1959 in Gorseinon, Swansea) is a Welsh former boxer, who became British, Commonwealth and European welterweight champion.
[1] He was one of the hardest punching welterweights of his generation and his ability to knock fighters out with a single shot (with either hand) allowed him the luxury of being a notoriously slow starter.
He lost three times, one by disqualification (Curtis Ramsey), one by split decision (Milton McCrory) and once when he was stopped in four rounds (cuts) by Donald Curry.
[2] Jones was assistant to National Coach Tony Williams for the Welsh Boxing team at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Jones was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to boxing in Wales.
