    I’m guessing Larry Holmes-Mike Weaver II (1979 and 1999) is the record.

    Larry also fought Bonecrusher in 1984 and 2000.

    Alberto Davila vs Frankie Duarte II took place almost exactly 10 years after their first fight. (June 9, 1977 - June 27, 1987)

    Worth the wait! The rematch was amazing. The first fight was dazzling by Davila.

    Agreed. First fight was a boxing masterpiece by Davila.
    The rematch was an amazing fight with lots of high drama. Just a shame that the fight had to end badly for Davila. I still don't understand why they called it a TKO when the cut was caused by a headbutt (if my memory serves me well).

    Joe Louis had his first match with Billy Conn on June 18th, 1941 and rematched him on June 19th, 1946, so that's 5 years and 1 day. Boom!
