Britton at Top Form Defending Welterweight Title
Jack Britton, 35, remains invincible in the welterweight division and the reigning champion, fighting weekly and never fearing a rematch. Born William Breslin in Clinton, NY in 1885, he rose to fame after early clashes with Packey McFarland and Ted Lewis, reclaiming the title in 1919 and maintaining it through relentless bouts and shrewd management by Dan Morgan which turned him into a national boxing draw.
