Petty officer Matthew 'Nutty' Curran (1882–1938 (aged 56)) born in Lisdeen, Kilkee was an Irish professional cruiser/heavyweight boxer of the 1900s, '10s and '20s, who won the Irish heavyweight title, British heavyweight title (as this bout didn't take place at National Sporting Club premises at 43 King Street, Covent Garden, London, this and subsequent British heavyweight title bouts featuring Matthew 'Nutty' Curran were not recognised by the National Sporting Club (NSC), nor retrospectively by the British Boxing Board of Control), and British Empire heavyweight title, and challenged for the British Boxing Board of Control British heavyweight title, his professional fighting weight varied from 178 lb (81 kg; 12 st 10 lb), i.e. Cruiserweight to 199 lb (90.3 kg; 14 st 3.0 lb), i.e. Heavyweight. Matthew Curran's nickname of 'Nutty' came about because "he would foul you early on or he went so crazy that he railroaded you into fouling him", 'Nutty' being slang for a crazy person, i.e. one who suffers from insanity.
