Boxing out of Torbay Amateur Boxing Club, Baker is a two-time national champion winning back-to-back NABGC crowns in 2023 and 2024 and has amassed over 60 competitive bouts since first stepping into the ring.
He has enjoyed sustained success at regional and national level, winning the Western Counties Championship eight times and claiming multiple box cup titles both in the UK and overseas.
His recent form has underlined his consistency at elite amateur level. Baker has just won the Global Glove Box Cup in Bolton, adding to a growing list of major tournament victories.
At the end of 2025, he also claimed gold at the Barum Box Cup in North Devon. Earlier in his career, he travelled to Sweden to compete at the prestigious King of the Ring Box Cup, where he defeated an Italian European silver medallist to take home the title.
He has also been named Best Male Boxer in the tournament at the Riviera Box Cup 2024.
Baker’s talent was evident from an early age, as he first represented Devon at just 10 years old, before progressing through the schoolboy, junior, and youth ranks at national level.
This year, he steps up to the England Boxing National Elite Senior Championships for the first time — the highest level of domestic amateur boxing in the country and a competition previously won by fighters such as Ricky Hatton, Anthony Joshua, and Tyson Fury during their amateur careers.
Jed will first be fighting for the Western Counties Championship before, if successful, progressing to the national event. The latter begins in Banbury before moving to Rotherham and Derby throughout the month of April.
