Professional career edit
Jacobsen's greatest fights were against Manning Galloway which were all fought in Randers Hallen, Randers, Denmark. The first fight, Jacobsen lost due to a corner retirement, the second fight was a no contest, but Jacobsen finally won the WBO welterweight title from Galloway in the 3rd fight by a decision.
During his career, Jacobsen had economic fights with his promotor Mogens Palle. Jacobsen thought he didn't get enough money for his fights.[1] In his European championship fight against René Weller, Weller got around 600.000 Danish crowns, while Jacobsen only got 50.000 crowns.[2]
In February 1993, Jacobson won the WBO welterweight title against Manning Galloway but was stripped in October of the same year after being forced to withdraw to a fight against Eamonn Loughran because of suffering from the flu.[3]
Personal life edit
Jacobsen appeared in a television show named Dalton, that was shown in Denmark in 1993.
Jacobsen owns an auto shop in Denmark.
