    I was a world champion - and I once refereed a fight between a former and a future opponent of mine.

    Who am I?

    We're looking for a post-WW2 heavyweight champion.

    Sonny Liston

    Jack Dillon fits too.

    You're right... I was thinking of Liston (Cleveland Williams vs Dave Bailey).

    I didn't know, that Dillon was a possible answer too!

    Dillon fought George Chip & Frank Klaus several times each and was the referee when the 2 fought.

    Thanks, hh.

    For years I have been pretty sure, Liston would be the only correct answer to this question - so this was interesting.
