Good list.But doesn't Klitschko actually live in Germany?I know he is from the Ukraine,but I was under the assumption that
he owned a home in Germany.Please correct me if I am wrong.

Add Lomachenko to this list

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

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.

Lomachenko is fighting in Macao, China in November.

Kovalev won his WBO title in Wales, in front of a hostile crowd.

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.

He fought Povetkin in Moscow.

Klitschko's country is currently close to war with Russia.

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.

heard huck wants to come to the us and box on HBO. sauerland is in talks with hbo, his son said himself.
