    On this day in 1968 the great Lionel Rose became the Undisputed World Bantamweight Champion. Lionel shocked the world defeating the Undisputed Champion Fighting Harada in Haradas' home country.
    Lionel fought two Hall Of Famers in their home countries who were in their prime, winning one and losing to the other.

    In my humble opinion it's one of the greatest achievements by a Aussie boxer!
