Nick Wells was fighting in a Lou Duva promotion and not sure who Wells was fighting but Wells knocked the first guy out within seconds of the first rd, Lou then made Nick wait in the ring while they went and brought in another fighter a few minutes later only to find the 2nd fighter in the same shoes as the first guy with a first round ko. Not sure this was exactly legal according to Wells but there is an example. I do remember Foreman fighting more than one guy in a night as well.
I recall reading a story in Boxing News a number of years back about Billy Bird and how he once fought at three different venues in one day. There was some kind of early show, possibly at a fair where he fought and then was tapped for some afternoon show somewhere else. After the 2nd fight he was found in a chip shop having a meal with his family where someone spotted him and pled with him that a fighter pulled out of an evening show in another town. Billy promptly grabbed his gear bag, headed to the train depot and fought on the evening show. I wish I had more facts on this or held onto that particular issue. I think it was Ron Olver who wrote it. Scartissue
I'm afraid I cannot. I tried -- long and hard -- but the transgression was just too great. I will never forgive you. With that being said, interesting thread. :good
I did it (admittadly amatuer) but it was 3x3 mins same as Prizefighter, and I had a hangover. Won both fights too.
Check out the "bigger's better" boxing series.. it's like a heavyweight version of prize fighter, with lesser experienced fighters. One of my favorite fighters from that series is Constantin Bejenaru. He's something special, even if he's a little small for the heavyweights. check him out.

There was a heavyweight tournament -- 3-round bouts -- with some name heavyweights and a few "up-and-comers" in 1993 in Bay St. Louis, Miss. Tony Tubbs won, winning four bouts in one evening. Multiple guys fought more than once.
