Jack Egan

Jack Egan

Frank Joseph Floyd (who fought under name Jack Egan) (born May 27, 1878, date of death unknown) was an American lightweight and welterweight boxer who competed in the early twentieth century.

He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Egan won two medals in boxing at the 1904 Summer Olympics, a silver medal in the lightweight category losing to Harry Spanger in the final and a tied bronze medal in the welterweight category against fellow American boxer, Joseph Lydon. By the rules of the AAU it was illegal to fight under an assumed name. In November 1905 the AAU disqualified Egan from all AAU competitions and he had to return all his prizes including his two Olympics medals.
