    WRONG! Doyle was not British, he came from County Cork,as far down south in Eire as you would want to be.
    On the other hand Rinty Monaghan was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland ,which is part of the UK.
    Monaghan used to sing "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," after his fights.
    It seems you don't know as much as you think you do.

    i am afraid you are incorrect once again. My question never asked were the fighter was born. my question asked: Which British fighter sang in the ring like Tyson Fury does?... Answer: Jack Doyle.... Doyle fought for the "BRITISH" Heavyweight Title in 1933 .. Doyle started his pro career in London, making his debut there and fighting the vast majority of his bouts there. With the exception of 1935 when he fought 4 bouts in 8 weeks in the USA. The only time Doyle ever fought in Ireland, was when making a comeback to the ring, after 4 years in retirement and fighting twice in Dublin in 1943....

    These TRIVIA Questions seem to be posing a state of perplexity for you!

    I know where he started his career and what title he fought for ,fact is he was born in Ireland which is not part of the UK therefore he is not British and no amount of sarcastic spin on your part will alter that fact. No perplexity for me and a word to the wise when you endeavour to impress with words, make sure you use them correctly as in
    "Varifying ," oh and there's no R in Amin.You cannot pose a state of perplexity ,you can cause one ,or create one, but neither applies in this case.

    what is the point you are trying to make here?... Because you are now making a complete fool of yourself. Everything you say is wrong, and you have failed miserably, in your attempt to rubbish my Trivia.

    Question 2/. Which British fighter, sang in the ring like Tyson Fury, after his fights?
    Answer: Jack Doyle

    Member reznick, correctly answered the question.

    However, you have sprouted on about how Jack Doyle was born in County Cork, Ireland. claiming Doyle to be "Not British" as my question stated.

    Well once again, can i point out to you that you are Wrong. Jack Doyle was born August 31st. 1913 in Cobh republic of Ireland.

    "The partition of Ireland (Irish: críochdheighilt na hÉireann) was the division of the island of Ireland into two distinct territories, Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. It took place on 3 May 1921 under the Government of Ireland Act 1920."

    So Jack Doyle was actually born BRITISH which enabled him to fight for the British Heavyweight Title 1933 vs Jack Petersen.
