Which countries have never produced a world champion?

[The Truth!]

India -population 1.5biillon and hopelessly embarassingly awful! Couldn't be any worse. And millions of Indians around the world .. not a Single pro world champ ever & best theyve ever done in the ams at tje Olympics & world championships is a couple of poxy bronzes. No indian male boxer has ever ever won a gold or even silver lol. Vijender Singh is a superstar celebrity over there they have really low standards! Tbe whole of South Asia is terrible.. Pakistanis are the worst boxers Ive ever seen in my life. Its quote funny seeing these nations get beat up at the commonwralth gamesby tiny nations lime Northern Ireland of just 1million people. They just cannot fight at all, I think race/DNA must have something to do with it. And almost all these fighters have feather fists and glass jaws. They have hopelessly low standards they aren't winners .

Nigeria for its huge population are terrible foo.

And Turkey like people have mentioned have always been terrible.Turks can't fight at all. All throughout the history of boxing theyve been useless.

[The Truth!]

The most known boxers from Africa have actually been white LOL. The white buffalo Botha, Corrie Sanders, Gerrie Coetze...

Boxing is getting more and more global though, we're now getting champs from everywhere. Indongo from Namibia for example. The guy won two ABC belts training in some small room in the middle of nowhere with nobodies.

White africans despite being a tiny tiny minority (2%)have clearly been much better at boxing than the overwhelming majority of black africans

[The Truth!]

Africa is the worst continent at boxing though.

That's because south Asia isn't a continent LOL.

You forgot Nepal and Myanmar/Burma. Zero Olympic medals despite having I don't know how many millions of people (too lazy to check). Both countries probably have more than 50 millions.

Josipović was later shot and wounded in 1997 in Banja Luka. Holyfield remembered him and called him, offering help.

Sad, great to hear how old fighters reconnect like this years after fights.

True hahaha! The japanese midgets in the lower weights is the only reason the continent of Asia as a whole is ahead of Africa.

Croatia for example has a population of a little more than 4 million and they're elite everywhere. Football, basketball, handball, tennis, water polo, track and field even winter sports. 44 Olympic medals since 1992. Produced great fighters in kickboxing, MMA and now Hrgović in boxing.

The country is corrupt as hell and a lot of people drink booze and smoke, they had a war too recently.

It has to be race/DNA to some extent.

That's because these countries have only been independent since 1991 or later and under communism (1945-1989) pro boxing wasn't encouraged.

The exception was the Croatian boxer Mate Parlov who had to box under the Italian flag

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_Parlov

He won the WBC World Light Heavyweight title so you can count him as a Croatian champ.

When it comes to Slovenia there was also Armand Krajnc (both parents were Slovenes who emigrated to Sweden) who won the WBO middleweight title:

There was also Fritzie Zivic, half-Croat and half-Slovene hall of fame boxing legend:

Damn, I knew about Parlov. Ashamed that he slipped my mind. My family is from former Yugoslavia (west Slovenia).

Kazakhstan with 18 million people is the 4th strongest athletic nation in Asia (behind China, Japan and South Korea) and many (most?) of those achievements were achieved by the 4 million strong Russian minority living there. Those 4 millions of Russian living in Kazakhstan are an athletic powerhouse in Asia, a continent with billions of people. They won more medals on the last Asian games than India. In boxing they produced guys like Jirov, Dychko, Golovkin (predominantly Russian)... The way things are India can only dream of having boxers of this caliber.

It's just the way it is. In my experience the Indians at least don't pretend that they're some tough fighters while the likes of Turks always want to start something and then pull out their knives when the going gets tough. They stab foreign football and basketball fans coming to Turkey all the time. They cowardly killed some English fans years ago and also a Serb fan relatively recently. I haven't met a lot of Indians though.
