Since there was no bronze medal match, Egan and Lydon were both awarded bronze medals. Egan’s real name was Frank Floyd and by the rules of the AAU it was illegal to fight under an assumed name. In November 1905 the AAU disqualified Egan from all AAU competitions and he had to return all his prizes. [http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/blog/?p=4 November 1905 Egan disqualified]
