Dubliner Dan Donnelly became the first recognised world boxing champion when he beat Englishman George Cooper in an epic bare knuckle bout fought at the Curragh in 1815. An obelisk at Donnelly's Hollow marks the spot. What purports to be the boxer's right arm is on display at the Hideout bar in Kilcullen.
