Osei Bonsu (Sugar) Jackson (born March 3, 1981, in Ghana) is a Belgian welterweight professional boxer of Ghanaian descent. He started to call himself Sugar as a reference to Sugar Ray Robinson.

In 1997, Jackson came to Belgium, where his father already was living. As boxing was his boyhood dream, he went to Antwerpse Boksschool (English: Antwerp Boxing School). Currently, Jackson trains in Izegem.

Sugar Jackson is famous for his very hard punch and his perseverance. His defence and technique are his weaker points. So far, Jackson has won 27 (23 knockouts) of his 28 fights. In February 2005, he won the IBC world title. In February 2007, almost exactly two years after his IBC title, Jackson defeated Nordin Mouchi, capturing the EBU world title. So far, he has successfully defended his EBU title 4 times. The last time was on May 3, 2008 against the Ukrainian Viktor Plotnikov. Jackson and his management hope to challenge Floyd Mayweather in the future, to capture his WBC Welterweight Champion title.
