Daniel Jacobs is the current IBF middleweight champion and former WBA world champion. Jacobs is one of the biggest names in boxing as many believe he beat Gennady Golovkin on HBO Pay-Per-View in 2017 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.
Jacobs derives his nickname "The Miracle Man" from beating osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He returned to the ring 19 months after being told he would not walk again.
