Jeremiah " Joe " Jeannette (also Jennette [2]) (August 26, 1879 – July 2, 1958) was an American boxer, considered one of the best heavyweight boxers of the early 20th century. Because he was African-American, he was not given a shot at the world heavyweight title, though he did win the World Colored Heavyweight Championship on two occasions.

Jeannette quickly moved into the first rank of black heavyweights. Within two years of turning pro, Jeannette had fought Jack Johnson seven times, with one win, one loss, one draw, and four no-decisions.
