Albert Clifford Sund, also known by his ring names Kid Sunn and Marty Sullivan (August 25, 1902 – August 30, 1951) was an American professional boxer who competed from 1918 to 1928. He was inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 1994.
A Delaware native, Sund started boxing around the age of 17 at shows staged in Wilmington.[1] He "progressed rapidly and soon climbed to the top of local ranks in his class, by defeating all the glovemen who faced him," wrote The Evening Journal.[1] Sund, who went by the ring names "Kid Sunn" and "Marty Sullivan," started his career by winning 53 straight fights and at one point had a career record of 87–1, including 19 consecutive knockouts.[2] He was trained and often fought at the Keystone Field Club at East Fourth Street, and was managed by Olen Hackett early in his career.[3] [2] He later was managed by George Maull.[4] In c. 1921, he was named unofficial bantamweight state champion, a title he never lost.[5] He later fought in the Madison Square Garden and several east coast cities, including Harlem, Albany,[6] Chester,[7] Brooklyn,[8] and multiple others. Sund retired in 1928 with a lifetime record of 203–2–2, winning 98.55% of his fights.[5]
Sund later worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad as an upholsterer.[4] On August 30, 1951, Sund collapsed while visiting a friend and was pronounced dead upon arrival to the Delaware Hospital.[4] He was 49 at the time of his death.[4]
Sund was posthumously inducted into the Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 1994.[2] His brother Lenny Sund was inducted in 1998.[9]
