Jack McAuliffe (born March 25, 1886 in Cork, Ireland – November 5, 1937 in Forest Hills, New York) was an Irish-American boxer.
McAuliffe was born in Cork, Ireland, and emigrated to the United States, where he spent his early years in Bangor, Maine. He was known as a strong two handed fighter with "cat-like" reflexes. Fighting out of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, he was one of only nine boxers to remain undefeated throughout his entire career.[1] He was the Lightweight Champion of the World from 1886 to 1893. McAuliffe was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995. [1]
