USVI’s Jackson, Clarke inducted into Indiana Hall of Fame

INDIANAPOLIS — Julian Jackson has been on a mission for much of his existence, with the 63-year-old posting a storied spell in the boxing ring.

On Saturday, “the Hawk’s” legacy was enhanced with his third Hall of Fame induction — this one in the Indiana Boxing Hall of Fame. Jackson was one of two people from the U.S. Virgin Islands — and 13 overall — to be inducted into the Indiana boxing hall this weekend, along with veteran boxing cornerman Rudolph “Rudy” Clarke.

“It’s just something that I believe a lot of fighters may not expect but when it comes down to it all the hard work really did pay off,” Jackson, a three-time world champion, said. “I’m really grateful and glad to be a part of something that the world tends to pay attention to.”
