    Which fighters have fought in the most different countries?

    Eddie Perkins surely is #1? At least of ex-world champions. I count 23 countries for him

    USA
    Mexico
    Puerto Rico
    Canada
    Jamaica
    Guyana
    Trinidad & Tobago
    Brazil
    Argentina
    Colombia
    Chile
    Ecuador
    Colombia
    Venezuela
    Japan
    Philippines
    South Africa
    Australia
    Austria
    Germany
    Italy
    France
    Denmark

    I think the second closest off the top of my head is Ken Buchanan with 13.

    England
    Scotland
    Wales
    Denmark
    Spain
    Italy
    France
    South Africa
    Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia)
    Japan
    USA
    Canada

    Anybody else close to Perkins?

    I don't know exactly everywhere he fought but Glen Johnson made a career out of fighting people in their own backyards. He fought Ottke and Ulrich in Germany, Froch, Groves and Woods in England and Bute in Canada. I'm sure there are more examples.
