Professional Career

• Defeated Donald Curry by a sixth-round TKO on September 27, 1986, to win the Undisputed World Welterweight Championship. The fight was named The Ring Magazine Upset of the Year.
• Vacated the WBA welterweight title in December 1986 after the WBA mandated that he defend the title against South African Harold Volbrecht. Honeyghan dropped the WBA title belt into a trash can on a London street to protest the WBA's continued sanctioning of bouts involving citizens of South Africa, which was under international sanctions for its apartheid government.
• Lost the WBC welterweight title to Jorge Vaca on October 28, 1987. The fight was stopped due to a cut suffered by Vaca, which was caused by an accidental clash of heads. They went to the scorecards, and Vaca won by a split eight-round technical decision. Vaca was rated fourth by the WBC, but he was not rated by the IBF. As a result, the IBF did not sanction the fight and declared their title vacant after Honeyghan's loss.
• Regained the WBC welterweight title with a third-round knockout of Vaca on March 29, 1988.
• Lost the WBC welterweight title to Marlon Starling by a ninth-round TKO on February 4, 1989.
• Lost to Mark Breland by a third-round TKO on March 3, 1990, in an attempt to regain the WBA welterweight title.
