Was looking and saw Josh Taylor beat 3 in a row and it will probably 4 in a row given who his mandatory is.
What's the longest streak you can find? Excluding fighters with 0 wins of course. Level of opposition don't matter.

Was listening to Macklins pod cast a few weeks ago, the guy on there was talking about an away fighter beat about 7 undefeated fighters on the bounce

Good call.
Tim Bradley did 3 in a row at a high level, Peterson, Abregu, Alexander.
Wladimir Klitschko, of his final 8 fights, took on 7 unbeaten fighters, winning 5 and losing his final two fights against Fury and Joshua..
Fury has fought 3 on the bounce now, a Draw with Wilder and wins over poor opposition in Wallin and Schwarz. It is interesting to this thread however as Wilder is still undefeated, so the rematch makes it 4 undefeated fighters in a row he is challenging.
Riddick Bowe, you could say, did 4 in a row, albiet 1 was a no contest which he would have won anyway: Buster Mathis Jr (NC), Larry Donald, Herbie Hide, Gonzales.

Apparently so. I’m sceptical to whether he even really existed.

Well spotted. I guess the debutants class as undefeated.

Brett Fidoe had a good run of 4wins and a draw against undefeated opposition. This includes a debuting fighter.

Luis Estaba beat an unbeaten fighter to win the WBC light-flyweight title in 1975. His opponent, Rafael Lovera, was making his pro debut.
