Gert Bo Jacobsen (born 28 December 1961) is the former WBO welterweight champion of the world, from Østrup, Denmark. He remained undefeated in his first 26 fights between 1983 and 1988. His first loss came in October 1988 to Greg Haugen.

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]

Jacobsen held the EBU European lightweight title, and the WBO welterweight title.

Jacobsen appeared in a television show named Dalton, that was shown in Denmark in 1993.

Jacobsen owns an auto shop in Denmark.
