According to a July 9, 1920 newspaper account Jack Madden had been the former 105-pound champion 25 years earlier. He had been a guard for a few months at Bilibid, the prison where all the felons of the Philippines were confined, but had recently quit that position to take charge of a boxing club in that country.
His last important fight was at Coney Island, in 1896, the newspaper reports, when he was knocked out by Jimmy Barry, bantam champ.
Since leaving the United States, Madden had taught boxing in Mexico, Panama, the Argentine Republic, Uruguay, South Africa and the Philippines.
