    I've stumbled over his record a while ago but it wouldn't have occurred to me.

    Pat, it seems you've found your niche subject: "Boxers who were...."


    Imagine if this qualified as a category on Jeopardy.

    Contestant: "I'll take boxers who were countries for $100 please."

    Question
    : "I won an Olympic Gold medal in boxing, for Cuba at the 2004 Athens Games. I later defected to Colombia in order to turn pro. I ultimately obtained a visa to live and train in the USA."

    Contestant answers: "Who is Yuriorkis, The New Gambia?"

    Okay, maybe that wasn't worth the effort. :lol:
