Life

Jacoby's first fight as a professional boxing athlete took place in early December 1965. In his first six duels, he got four wins and one draw in the event of a defeat. In October 1966 Jacoby had the opportunity to duel with the German lightweight champion Karl Furcht in his seventh fight . The fight was held in Oldenburg , Lower Saxony , and ended in a draw. As a result, fear remained the title holder. In February 1967 there was a rematch between the two, this time in Cologne . Jacoby was knocked out in the tenth round. A third duel between Jacoby and Furcht was held in Düsseldorf  in early September 1967 . Again Jacoby failed to beat the Aachener . The battle, which was fought with great speed, ended in a draw.

At the end of November 1968 Jacoby became  German lightweight champion by defeating Rolf Kersten . By September 1970 he successfully defended the title three times. At the end of October 1970 he faced Lothar Abend  in the ring in Kiel for the championship title in the new junior lightweight class. The fight held in the Ostseehalle was high-class, "rarely has a fist duel been praised with such unanimous enthusiasm as the master's duel: Lothar Abend (featherweight) beat Klaus Jacoby (lightweight) over twelve rounds," reported the Hamburger Abendblatt about the fight between the two Southpaw.

Jacoby subsequently lost ten of his next eleven fights. In August 1972 he fought again against Rolf Kersten for the German lightweight championship. There was a draw, in November of the same year there was the duel again, this time Jacoby won and was again German lightweight champion. He lost his subsequent fight against Lothar Abend in Cologne.

Jacoby boxed with interruptions until June 1981, but lost significantly more fights than he won, including other duels for the German championship.
