James Neil Nicolson (9 November 1971 – 28 February 1994) was an Australian boxer.[1] He won a bronze medal at the 1989 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Moscow and a bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland,[2] before competing at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.[3] Nicolson turned professional later in 1992, and held a record of 7–1 prior to his death.
From Yatala, Queensland,[4] Nicolson was born to a Scottish-born father, Allan, originally from Glasgow.[5] His sister Skye, who was born the year after her brothers' deaths, was a bronze medallist at the 2016 World Amateur Championships and a gold medallist at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[6][7]
On 28 February 1994, Nicolson was killed, along with his 10-year-old brother Gavin, in a traffic collision on the Pacific Highway in Helensvale, Gold Coast. The pair were headed to training in Nerang. Nicolson was 22.[4][5][6][7]
Jamie Nicolson Avenue and Jamie Nicolson Park in Edens Landing are named in honour of him.[8]
