Biography
O'Dowd won the title on November 14, 1917, by knocking out Al McCoy in the sixth round after dropping him six times.[ 2] O'Dowd was the only active boxing champion to fight at the front during World War I (1918, while serving in the U.S. Army).[ 3] During his career he claimed victories over Hall of Famers Jack Britton , Mike Gibbons , Kid Lewis and Jeff Smith . On February 25, 1918, he held the legendary Harry Greb to a draw.[ 2] O'Dowd was knocked out just once in his career, his last fight on March 16, 1923.[ 4]
O'Dowd died on July 28, 1957, from a heart attack at a Veteran's hospital, aged 62.[ 5] He was buried at Calvary Cemetery .[ 6] He was inducted into the Minnesota Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.[ 7]
