Arthur Abraham, I'd say Danny Garcia, considering his one time was in Puerto Rico which is his heritage, Tim Bradley for the last several years, Larry Holmes never defended outside the U.S.

[Build That Wall]

Andre Ward fought Roger Cantrell in St Lucia


Andre Ward fought Jerson Ravelo in the Cayman Islands.

Marco Huck will be fighting in New Jersey in August. It seems he's looking to fight abroad now, which is good for boxing. Real fighters aren't afraid to travel.

Andre Ward fought Roger Cantrell in St Lucia


Andre Ward fought Jerson Ravelo in the Cayman Islands.

Ward has never fought a live opponent outside the USA. Read my opening post more carefully:

"What current titleholders have never fought for a title or defended their title in a foreign country?"

Abraham knocked out Dirrell in Detroit.

^This is basically it. Boxing is employment for some and America is where the good money is at for most boxers.
