Simon Byrne (1806 – 2 June 1833), nicknamed "The Emerald Gem", was an Irish bare-knuckle prize fighter. The heavyweight boxing champion of Ireland, he was drawn to England by the larger sums of prize money on offer and his hopes of becoming the heavyweight champion there as well. He became one of only six fighters ever to have been involved in fatal fights as both survivor and deceased since records began in 1741.

  • Simon Byrne (1806 - 2 juin 1833), surnommé « The Emerald Gem » (la pierre d'émeraude), était un champion irlandais de pugilat, sport ancêtre de la boxe anglaise dans lequel les boxeurs combattaient à mains nues. Champion poids lourds d'Irlande, il gagne l'Angleterre, animé par l'appât du gain et l'espoir d'y ravir le même titre. Il devient l'un des quatre premiers boxeurs au monde à être impliqué dans des combats de boxe mortels, à la fois en tant que vainqueur et en tant que vaincu. Sa mort fut d'ailleurs un événement qui participa à l'amélioration des règles de sécurité dans la boxe anglaise. (fr)

  • Simon Byrne, född 1806, död 2 juni 1833, var en irländsk boxare som boxades utan handskar i enlighet med den tidens regler. Han bar smeknamnet "The Emerald Gem" (ungefär: Smaragdädelstenen eller Smaragdjuvelen). Då han blivit tungviktsmästare i boxning på Irland drogs han till England på grund av de större prissummorna där, och med en förhoppning om att kunna bli tungviktsmästare även där. Han blev en av endast sex boxare i världen som varit involverad i dödliga matcher, både som överlevande såväl som avliden (Journal of Combative Sport sträcker sig tillbaka till 1741). Hans död var en av de faktorer som ledde till en förbättrad säkerhetsstandard i tidig engelsk boxning. (sv)
