Post-war, there's been Pete Rademacher against Floyd Patterson for the Heavyweight title.

Then in the mid-1970's a Panamanian or Paraguayan called Lovera challenged for one of the Light-Flyweight titles (WBC or WBA) in his first fight. Though it only came to light after the fight that he was making his pro debut.
