    Another father and son one.
    I won an Australian title and earlier had fought for a world title.
    I fought and was beaten by a fighter who was a former world champion, a decade later I would travel to America to also be beaten by his son.
    Who was the father and son?

    The fighter who fought both father and son was knocked out in his first fight, out of his next 35 fights he would only be beaten once and that was narrowly on points.
    From start to finish his career lasted 32 years

    You get the chocolates O.M.

    It puzzled me why it's Ray (the father) and his son was Ray III? Maybe a cousin was Ray II?
