In December 1947, he defended the title against Belgian, Joe Cornelis, at Belle Vue, and again won on points.
In February 1948, he defended his European title against Italian, Guido Ferracin, at Belle Vue, and this time, lost on points.
He had a re-match with Ferracin, in July 1948, at Belle Vue again. This time Kane was forced to retire in round five.
He had only two more fights, losing on points to Stan Rowan, and knocking out a boxer called Johnny Conn, who was making his debut, in April 1951.
