Featherweight Champion of the World 1912 - 1923

Welcome to JohnnyKilbane.com, the official site of Featherweight Champion Johnny Kilbane.  The purpose of this site is to keep alive the memory of one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up gloves in any weight class.  Johnny Kilbane was a true champion both in and out of the ring.  He held the featherweight title longer than any fighter in the history of boxing.  Memorabilia and first hand accounts of Johnny and / or his life are rare. Any contributions in the form of stories, memorabilia etc you are willing to share is greatly appreciated.

In 2012, in both Cleveland, Ohio and Achill, Ireland, we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Johnny winning the title. Click on the tab 100 Yr Anniversary for more information. 

Enjoy the site and thanks for your support.
