Who was the first southpaw to fight for The World HeavyWeight Title

This one took some searching. It's Karl Mildenberger. 1966, which is a bit of a surprise, would have thought it would be someone earlier. Now I haven't researched the handedness of every heavyweight challenger in history, but I'll go with this.
