Early life


Kenny was raised on a farm in Big Rapids, Michigan with his four brothers and sister. According to his family, he regularly fought with his brothers and it is assumed that his southpaw stance was adopted to defend himself against his older brother who later became an Olympic boxer.
[1]



Professional boxing career


Lane was known for having a very unorthodox way of fighting. This combined with the fact that he was a southpaw made him an excellent boxer and in 1953 started his professional career.[2]


Quote from Ortiz: "No one was more difficult to figure out than Kenny Lane, the guy was unbelievably clever" [3]


He had a controversial decision loss to Joe Brown for undisputed lightweight championship of the world.
He fought the Ortiz rubber match for light welterweight title.


Lane decided at age 50 to round out his professional career to 100 bouts.
He dropped to his fighting weight from almost 200 pounds.[4]
After beating 3 much younger opponents he lost to the fourth.
Kenny decided to retire for the final time, making the even 100 bouts he sought.



Family life


Kenny Lane married his wife Ruth as a teenager in West Virginia. Kenny and Ruth had no children.



Later years


After retiring Kenny continued teaching boxing in the Lansing area. Kenny ran the boxing program at the Lansing Gallo Recreation Center. Several times Kenny drove less fortunate members of the program to meetings and matches across Michigan, often on his own dollar. Kenny's legacy will live through his students,most recently his student Christian Lloyd, carries on his name through his own successful career.


In 1995, British singer Morrissey released an album called Southpaw Grammar. The cover featured an old photograph of Lane from the April 1963 issue of The Ring magazine.
[5]


Lane was admitted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004.
[6]


Later in life Lane became an avid golfer and had a tournament named for him. He died of a heart attack on November 29, 2018 alongside one of his most well known students, Christian Lloyd in Lansing, Michigan.
