    I was a great fighter who became a champion. But my great distant uncle
    though not a champion was a boxing legend. Who was I, and my immortal relative ?

    Johhny Famechon

    His Uncle Ray Famechon was a French and European champion, lost his challenge at a world title to Willie Pep. Dont know if he'd be considered immortal though
