    Haha, how sad am i? I saw the question, then ran over to my 'World Encyclopedia of Boxing' before anyone else could answer.

    If i was actually worthy of praise due to true boxing knowledge then i'd be able to answer question 2!

    Coetzee was not challenging for the title in any
    of those fights.He was the defending Champion against Page , but thats not a challenger.

    Well Coetzee did challenge for the WBA title in S. Africa & was stopped in the 13th. Was it by Weaver or Tate? not sure.

    The question was which boxer challenged for the heavyweight title on three different continents ,and was kod on all of them?

    Coetzee fought Tate in 1979 for the vacant WBA title and lost on points.
    He then challenged Weaver for the same title in 1980 and was stopped.
