Re: current champs that travel
Think if your a boxer that likes seeing different parts of the world being a gatekeeper type would be ideal, Monte Barrett was all over the bloody planet towards the end of his career
Re: current champs that travel
With Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko, etc., etc., it is unclear, because they live most of the year and practice in the U.S., so fighting in U.S. doesn't quite constitute travel. Mexicans traveling to Nevada or California aren't travelling much either.

Just had a look at Brian Mitchell record he must of been constantly bloody jetlagged !

Golovkin has had title fights in Ukraine, Panama, Germany, USA, Monaco and his home country of Kazakhstan.ikorolev wrote:With Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko, etc., etc., it is unclear, because they live most of the year and practice in the U.S., so fighting in U.S. doesn't quite constitute travel.

Lomachenko is fighting in Macao, China in November.
Kovalev won his WBO title in Wales, in front of a hostile crowd.
Re: current champs that travel
Kovalev had title bouts in Wales and Canada too and GGG has fought for titles in Panama, Kazahkstan, Monaco, Germany, and the US, though being the A-side of a bout arguably diminishes the respectability of traveling.ikorolev wrote:With Golovkin, Kovalev, Lomachenko, etc., etc., it is unclear, because they live most of the year and practice in the U.S., so fighting in U.S. doesn't quite constitute travel.

Re: current champs that travel
Not sure what you all think about female boxing but Alicia Ashley deserves a BIG mention here. She has travelled to Argentina, Austria, USA, Mexico and Panama AS a champion of some sort. She has also fought in title bouts in Germany, North Korea and China!
Not a current champ (but I expect he will be on Friday) is Roman Gonzalez who has defended titles in Japan, Mexico and the USA but never his home country of Nicaragua.
