Today's Boxer - Tomorrow's Trainer

Today's Boxer - Tomorrow's Trainer
The New York photographer who took this photo in 1912 wrote that it shows "the boys who were instrumental in causing the defeat of Abe Attell," the reigning featherweight champion defeated by Johnny Kilbane in that same year. From left to right are: Danny Dunn, Tommy Kilbane, Jimmy Dunn, and Johnny Kilbane. Both Dunns--who were originally boxers themselves, became trainers and operated gyms in the Old Angle neighborhood in the early decades of the twentieth century. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special Collections
