fighter facing someone that has his last name as his first and his first name as his last?

Not exactly what you asked for, but a 19-year Harry Duiven stopped his 76lbs heavier Father, also named Harry Duiven, in the 2nd round back in 2006 - https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/306187

 

“Dicks out for the boys…”

 

yes, I remember that,

I think that was the video that was floating around for a while, where the overweight, big midsection & bleach blonde Dad was not able to compete, slow, unfit and more of a sideshow really.

kind of like a Fury fight.

 

Im dizzy. I had to sit down after reading this.

 

Again, not quite what you're looking for but featherweight contender Danny Valdez beating journeyman Daniel 'Zorrito' Valdez comes to mind.

 

Did any of the 3K Battery Gyms in Thailand fight each other?

Oh, and appropos of nothing but why not post it in this unusual thread:

South African heavyweight Proud Kilimanjaro fought:

Captain Cleopas Marvel

Black Tiger

Jukebox Timebomb

Walter Ringo Starr

And

George Foreman (not that one, old or young, nor any of his sons including Monk … a SA heavy who won 1 of 11 fights in his distinguished career)

 

The Bozo was quite an attraction from what I understand, and had a couple of draws with Slapsie Maxie iirc.

He’s the spiritual successor to Windmill White, as the Bozo would throw punches behind his back when getting a guy head-locked under his armpit, cup his ear to the opposing corner to ‘intercept’ instructions and generally clown it up in the ring. Like comically winding his right arm to ‘load up’ for a punch and instead throwing a left uppercut.

The Bozo post-boxing was operating a restaurant and business was poor, so he convinced the waitresses to go topless (drawing the law to put a halt to it, being that it was illegal in that jurisdiction). He later went blind and became a preacher of some sort.

 

Well, Steve Roberts fought Rob Stevenson if that counts. Also Christopher Henry fought Henry Chris Crawford. Kind of close.

 

Thanks for hipping me to Proud Kilimanjaro. After my independent research I find he also knocked out Sam Sithole, which only looks bad if you read it quickly.

 

One which should never be told in these enlightened times. Mucky boy.

 

Eh, somehow the fact that Tyson Fury was named for Mike Tyson ruins it. Like the tail wagging the dog.

 

If you want to take stabs in the dark, I’d go through the boxrecs of every Jim/James Edwards vs. Edward James, William/Bill/Billy Thomas vs. Thomas Williams, etc.

Probably about as close as you’ll get. Maybe find the needle in one of those haystacks.

(By the way, did Haystacks Calhoun ever wrestle Giant Haystacks?)
