editTunney's son, John Tunney, later was a U.S. Senator from California.
His height was measured at 6' 1 and 1/2" before several of his fights, so the article could be corrected on that — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

editNo review of Gene Tunney can be fulfilled without showing his role as the "gentleman boxer" of the 1920s: lecturer at Harvard, reader of the classics, confidante of George Bernard Shaw and other writers. See David Margolick, "The Reader in the Ring," New York Review of Books 54(9): 46-48 (May 31, 2007) [[1]].
