Peter Kane, British boxer, 1938. Kane (1918-1991) won the world flyweight title in 1938 when he beat Jackie Jurich of the United States on points in Liverpool. Finding it increasingly difficult to make the weight at flyweight, he then moved up to bantamweight, winning the European championship in 1947. His career spanned 98 fights, with 88 wins, 7 losses, 2 draws and 1 no contest. A Churchman's Cigarettes picture card.
