Heavyweight Champions of France?

[Cap]

Is there a list anywhere of boxers who held the heavyweight championship of France? I believe Paul Journee was one, possibly Pierre Charles. Wondering who held the title prior to WW1.

Guess gilgamesh beat me to it. Goes back to 1911. Even has titles fights when the title does not change hands.

Took me a second to track down somebody that had been French Heavyweight Champion before, because I know a lot of the time if there's a title on somebody's record you can click on the title and see the lineage.

I finally struck gold when I looked up Georges Carpentier.

He was the first one that came to mind.
