Hugh Brown (2 February 1894 – 22 August 1935) was a British boxer who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics. In 1920 he finished fourth in the light heavyweight class after losing the bronze medal bout to Harold Franks.[1]
Brown won the 1914 ABA Middleweight Championship boxing for Belsize ABC. After World War I he stepped up in weight and won the 1919 ABA Heavyweight Championship. He would probably have won further A.B.A titles if the war had not stopped the Championships for four years.[2] [3]
In 1921, he became the World Amateur Light Heavyweight champion when boxing out of Aylesbury.[4]
Brown died on 22 August 1935, at the age of 41.[1]
