3 title shots/3 continents

Name boxers who never became world champion, but who...

A
... challenged for a world title 3 times, on 3 different continents - against 3 different opponents.

B
... challenged for a world title 3 times, on 3 different continents - against the same opponent.

 

Yep... you got B right.:good

Bill Squires challenged Tommy Burns for the heavyweight crown in the US, in France and in Australia.

 

We certainly have - it's difficult to come up with a question, that would be even a little bit challenging for him!

 

Yes, hh... you are right again!

Zepeda fought Pichit Sithbanprachan and Francisco Tejedor for the IBF flyweight title in Thailand and Columbia, respectively...

... and in his last fight he challenged Jose Antonio Aguirre for the WBC minimumweight title in Mexico.


By the way, hh... when will the new IBHOF inductees be announced?

 

You know, Al... I was kind of hoping, you would be the one, who named Alan Rudkin. And of course you did.:thumbsup

Sorry, I was too quick! Mitsunori Seki also challenged for a world title on 3 continents against 3 different opponents - and he beat your dad to it by one year! However, since he challenged 5 times for a world crown, he doesn't fit the question.
