Ike Weir (February 5, 1867 – September 12, 1908) was an Irish boxer, credited with being the first man to be featherweight champion of the world. He took the title after defeating Frank Murphy on March 31, 1889, in Kouts, Indiana in a fight that went an astounding eighty rounds, though it was officially declared a draw. Some sources may credit Weir with taking the world title as early as 1887 in his knockout title wins over Jack Farrell in Ridgefield, New Jersey on January 24, or Jack Williams in Westerly, Rhode Island, on March 10. Weir first claimed the title in his win over Farrell.
