ANDY "Young" CHANEY LW
Hometown - Baltimore, Maryland, USA
26(4)-17-5; 10 NC
Chaney had a good career as a featherweight and lightweight, eleven of his losses came in his final 14 bouts as things fell apart for him. His first 5 pro bouts consisted of a win and a loss with Dick Loadman, a decision loss to Kid Williams and no contest 10 and 12 rounders with Kid Herman and Frankie Burns. The fast start landed Chaney a Fetherweight title shot against Johnny Kilbane in 1919. The two fought to an 8 round no decision and did the same the following year. In both bouts, Chaney won the newspaper decision but the title did not change hands because Kilbane was not stopped. Chaney went on to draw with Charlie Beecher and score wins over Archie Walker, Frank Rice, Joe Dundee, Babe Herman and a post prime Kid Williams.
