Sonny Boy Jaro (born March 24, 1982) is a Filipino former professional boxer who competed from 2001 to 2019, and held the WBC and The Ring flyweight titles between March and July 2012.
Biography Jaro first made a living in making shoes with his father. At 12 years of age, he took up boxing where he had 59 amateur fights.
He began boxing professionally on September 1, 2001.
In his first world title attempt, Jaro challenged Edgar Sosa for the WBC light-flyweight title on September 27, 2008. Despite scoring a knockdown in the 9th round, he ended up losing a unanimous decision.
