Last UK boxer to win World Title In Mexico.. Napoles vs Stracey 1975 {FIGHT VID}

[Fix]

With tonight's Saul Alvarez vs Ryan Rhodes fight in mind, here's the last UK boxer to win a world title in Mexico. This was right at the end of Napoles' career, he retired after this bout.

Jose Napoles vs John H Stracey in 1975 for Napoles' WBC welterweight title in Monumental Plaza, Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico.

and that was vs a cuban

well, a Cuban-Mexican. Mexico fully supported Napoles and Napoles considered himself a Mexican as well, although of course he had Cuban roots.


Stracey had a very stinging jab.
