In 4 fights, on 3 different continents, I won, successfully defended, lost and failed to regain my world title... all in the same calendar year! Who am I?
No - Perkins never had more than 2 title fights in the same year. We're talking about a post-WWII boxer, who won and defended his world title against the same man... after which he lost it and tried to regain it against another.
