Team GB boxer Jordan proved an instant hit on social media following an exquisitely British gentleman-like appearance on First Dates.<\/p>\n
There were cups of tea, overuse of please and thank you, and a heart-warming story about Jord\u2019s love for his mum.<\/p>\n

Entering the restaurant to the only boxing soundtrack there is in the world of playlists – Rocky – Jordan proved an instantly charismatic and charming character.<\/p>\n
Mainly because of the unusual cocktail choice he threw in Merlin\u2019s direction\u2026<\/p>\n

Shaking and stirring that classic Twinnings English Breakfast, the six-year singleton was welcomed by 23-year-old Thai boxer, Chloe.<\/p>\n
Chloe went on to explain the type of man she was after, with quotes that sound a little scripted.<\/p>\n
But if they weren’t, the First Dates matchmaker deserves a pretty big pay rise…<\/p>\n

The conversation turned straight to Jordan\u2019s brew of the good stuff, with Brits across the nation hoping that \u201cI\u2019m having a cup of tea\u201d would soon be printed on t-shirts.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long – about three seconds – for Jordan to mention he was part of Team GB, although we\u2019d probably all do the same if given the same talents.<\/p>\n
The dating chat was as rhythmic as Muhammad Ali\u2019s shuffle as Jordan pulled out the ultimate knockout blow, mentioning a tight bond with his mother.<\/p>\n
A bond that had helped to fine-tune his nifty boxing footwork\u2026<\/p>\n

Jordan and Chloe continued to click as they sat down for dinner, although Jord made some heartfelt confessions about his childhood.<\/p>\n
His rise to the top as an elite level athlete was not without hardship\u2026<\/p>\n

Jordan added: We\u2019d sneak up to Marks & Spencers – you know they put the food out that\u2019s going to expire in five or six days – we was just bagging it up, taking it home and living off that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Jordan confessed that his \u201cmum comes first\u201d and was adamant that his mindset to make it as a professional boxer was because of his mother.<\/p>\n
The boxer elaborated on how he deals with his past by going into schools to provide talks, helping youngsters in similar situations.<\/p>\n
A hero Twitter, Jord also left his mark on Laura as the pair confessed that they loved every moment of their date and were keen for a round two.<\/p>\n
