		The subsidiary titles of the Marquess of Queensberry are: Earl of Queensberry (created 1633), Viscount of Drumlanrig (1628) and Lord Douglas of Hawick and Tibbers (1628), all in the peerage of Scotland.
		The 9th Marquess is particularly well-known because of the rules of boxing which were named for him (the Marquess of Queensberry rules), and for his litigious interaction with Oscar Wilde.
		William Douglas, 3rd Earl of Queensberry (1637-1695) (became Marquess of Queensberry in 1682)

		The Kilrain fight is however considered to be a turning point in boxing history because it was the last world title bout fought under the London Prize Ring rules and also, the last bare-knuckle heavyweight title bout.
		The heavyweight contest occured under the Marquess of Queensberry rules, but it was neither the first title fight under those rules nor was it the first title fight using boxing gloves.
		However, Sullivan had fought with gloves under the Marques of Queensberry Rules as early as 1880 and only fought bare knuckle three times in his entire career (Ryan - 1882, Mitchell - 1888 and Kilrain - 1889).
