Charlie Hardcastle of Barnsley knocked out Alf Wye of Hoxton in one round to win the vacant British Featherweight title on Monday, June 4th 1917. He travelled back to Barnsley, from London, on the train on the Tuesday afternoon, with his Lonsdale belt, and then went back down the pit for a full shift on the Wednesday morning.
