    Besides Zeljko Mavrovic, who is the only Croat and ex-Yugoslav to challenge for a heavyweight world title, have there been any prominent ex-Yugoslav heavyweights either in the amateur or pro ranks?

    George Chuvalo has Croation heritage but was born in Canada.

    I remember in that Mavrovic-Lennox fight there was some real hot Croat broad cheering for him

    Alexander Petkovic? Often described as Bosnian despite being based in Germany.
