Billy Lancaster followed fellow Spokane boxer Tiger Jack Fox back to the American East Coast in 1937, and wound up based out of Maine during the 1940s.

A great club fighter, he was dubbed "the one man revolution" by Maine sportswriter Bud Cornish, because of his nonstop punching style. Although limited in ability, he often put on the most entertaining fight of the program.

As he was reported as the cousin of Babe Lancaster, when fighting in Middletown NY, he may have originally been from Florida. When fighing in Spokane, he was also billed as being from nearby Priest River, Idaho, where he may have been based at the time.
