Benny Valgar, frequently spelled "Valger" (September 24, 1898 – October 1, 1974), was a French boxer who won the Featherweight Boxing Championship of the world in the resounding decision of newspapers on February 25, 1920. However, he did not knockout Johnny Kilbane, the reigning champion, so by previous agreement, could not take the title. Other sources observed that Valgar forfeited the match because he was less than a pound overweight from the featherweight limit of 124 pounds. Kilbane could have waved the forfeit, but chose not to.
