Acknowledgements to Fred Heatley and Miles Templeton for the fight record.

Davy Magill was born in Cairncastle, Larne, County Antrim, Ireland on 31 December 1894, the second of seven sons and five daughters. All of the sons became policemen and four of them boxed. The youngest of the seven, Jim, becoming Ireland's only three times ABA champion and one of the greatest amateur middleweights of international boxing in the 1930s. Davy had initially come to prominence as a runner and it wasn't until he reached the age of 25 that he first entered the ring in January 1920, winning the heavyweight championship of the RIC (the Irish police force of the time) in 1921.

The year 1923 saw him fight for three titles - the Light-heavyweight title of the British Empire against Jack Bloomfield in May, the Irish Heavyweight title against Bartley Madden in June, the Irish Light-heavyweight title against Boy McCormick in August; losing the former but winning both Irish titles.
A six month stint in the USA saw him chalk up victories in Madison Square Gardens over Tom Maxted and Leo Gates. A defeat by Ad Stone in February 1924 spelt the end of his American dream and the chance of meeting Gene Tunney. He returned to Ireland and remained a big draw in the boxing rings of Belfast, Dublin and in Liverpool, Glasgow and London until he announced his retirement in June 1931 as undefeated Irish champion. A comeback in 1935 at the advanced age of 40 had mixed results but his last bout September 1936 saw him leave the ring on a winning note with a third round ko.

His ring career over, Davy joined the Merchant Navy. In 1942 his ship the Ocean Venture was torpedoed by a German U boat off the coast of Virginia and Davy along with 28 of the crew were lost.

'''Tom Kennedy''' was a [[White Hope|"White Hope"]] boxer of his day.

Rumor has it that he witnessed a gangland killing and fled to California. He later became well-known as the boxing match-maker for the Hollywood [[American Legion Stadium]], from August 1923 to March 1925. He was also a motion picture actor, said to have been one of the original Keystone Cops, in that series of comedy silent films. And he managed boxer [[Newsboy Brown]] for a while in 1929.

Kennedy died of bone cancer Oct. 6, 1965, in Woodland Hills, California, USA.

(Kennedy was scheduled to fight Al Benedict on December 18, 1911 at New York's Olympic A.C. but injured his hand in a sparring session and had to back out.)
*Kennedy was scheduled to box Carl Morris at New Orleans, December 23, 1912. Result unknown.

According to his manager Pat Kearon, Miller was unbeaten prior to his fight with Ern Sheppard and his record included: Joe Buweller (KO 4); Colin Claxton (KO 3); C. Moore (Won on points 10); Seaman Parkes (KO 4) twice; Seaman Tunney (KO 3); Tom Keogh (KO 2). He was still serving in the navy in 1923 on board HMAS Platypus.
