Former world champion Daniel Jacobs announced his retirement from boxing.

Jacobs, 37, ended a nearly two-and-a-half-year hiatus from boxing earlier this month, but lost a unanimous decision to Shane Mosley Jr. in Anaheim, California.

Jacobs, of Brooklyn, New York, retires with a record of 37-5, 30 knockouts, including a 2018 win over Sergiy Derevyanchenko, to win a world middleweight title.

“I announce my retirement. I want to show my gratitude and appreciation for the sport of boxing, as it has changed my life in ways I could never imagine, it has instilled in me so many morals and values ​​that I would not have learned otherwise. Boxing made me the man I am today,” Jacobs posted on his social media.

The World Boxing Council and its President  Mauricio Sulaimán, wish Daniel great success in his future plans.
