The 5′ 8½″ fought out of Boston from 1895 to 1904 at a weight of between 120 and 165 lbs., in many weight classes and frequently against men that were much larger than himself. On 9 December 1897 in Waterbury, Connecticut, he faced Harry Peppers in a title match for the World Colored Middleweight Championship.[1] Byers knocked out the undefeated Peppers, the Pacific Coast Middleweight Champion of the Pacific Coast in the 19th round of a 20-round contest.[2] Rivalry With Frank ChildsByers fought Frank Childs for the world colored heavyweight title on 14 September 1898 at the Lenox Athletic Club in New York City, winning on points in a 20-round bout. Childs continued to claim the title during Byers' reign, and fought former colored heavyweight champ Bob Armstrong on 4 March 1899 in Cincinnati, Ohio in a fight announced as being for the title. Byers next fought Childs, who was billing himself as the "black heavyweight title" holder, on 16 March at the Star Athletic Club in Chicago. Byers had put his colored heavyweight title on the line and emerged victorious, winning a decision in a six-round contest. One year later, on 16 March 1901, Byers lost his title to Childs when the ex-champ KO-ed him in the 17th round of a 20-round title bout. They never fought again. RecordByers racked up a record of 20 wins (17 by knock out) against seven losses (knocked out four times) and 20 draws.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=George Byers|publisher=Cyber Boxing Zone|accessdate=21 May 2012}} {{s-start}}{{s-ach}}{{succession box |2. ^{{cite web|title=George Byers|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=40088&cat=boxer|publisher=BoxRec|accessdate=21 May 2012}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=George Byers|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=40088&cat=boxer|publisher=BoxRec|accessdate=21 May 2012}} before= Unknown | title= World Colored Middleweight Championship | years= December 9, 1897 - Unknown | after= Unknown }}{{succession box | before= Frank Childs | title= World Colored Heavyweight Championship | years= September 14, 1898 - March 16, 1901 | after= Frank Childs }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Byers, George}} 8 : 1872 births|1937 deaths|Sportspeople from Charlottetown|Heavyweight boxers|Black Canadian boxers|World colored heavyweight boxing champions|World colored middleweight boxing champions|Canadian male boxers |
