    Luis Lumumba Estaba of Venezuela won the WBC light fly title in 1975, might of even been the first WBC light fly champ. Don't know for sure if he was a grandad when he won title but he was definitely a grandad during his reign which lasted until 1978 when he was 39. A grand old age especially for a little man.
