Canadian world heavyweight boxing champion from February 23, 1906, when he won a 20-round decision over Marvin Hart (Hart, Marvin) in Los Angeles, until December 26, 1908, when he lost to Jack Johnson (Johnson, Jack) in 14 rounds in Sydney, Australia. This victory made Johnson the first black fighter to hold the heavyweight championship, a development that outraged some fans and even led to rioting in the United States. Burns had successfully defended his title 11 times before the fight with Johnson.

From 1900 to 1920 Burns had 60 bouts, winning 46, 36 by knockout. Near the end of his boxing career, Burns joined the Canadian army and taught boxing to military recruits. He was also involved in various business ventures, including a clothing store and a speakeasy. Late in his life Burns underwent a religious conversion, and in 1948 he became an ordained minister. Despite the large sums he had made during his career, Burns died impoverished. He was inducted into Ring magazine's Boxing Hall of Fame in 1960.
