About Al Sund

Lived 1902 – 1951 (aged 49). Al Sund was a boxer.

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.

Boxing career A Delaware native, Sund started boxing around the age of 17 at shows staged in Wilmington. 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. 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. In c. 1921, he was named unofficial bantamweight state champion, a title he never lost. He later fought in the Madison Square Garden and several east coast cities, including Harlem, Albany, Chester, Brooklyn, and multiple others. Sund retired in 1928 with a lifetime record of 203–2–2, winning 98.55% of his fights.
