Fighting abroad (in the other guy's backyard)

[Dia bando]

America is know longer the king pin in boxing fighters travel around the world challenging or defending titles.
Money is king and fighting is a business it seems strange people don't see the facts.
Fighters travel they take their chance win loose or draw or robbed but they get paid.
Lads bad dicisuions happen here it's part and parcel of boxing not good I no but what can you do.!

Tons of different variables with fighting abroad and there are times when a guy can cocoon into a local market and familiarity. Guys run up numbers in a comfort zone regardless of locale, in Mexico how many turned pro in mid teens. The glossy home brew numbers of Campas are what got him to the dance and let him co main Whitaker and Holyfield cards within 8 months. Be it a State or Country a solid fan base while holding gold and right promotion means you dictate some terms. If you can import co champs and contenders it's a no brainer. With Gushiken it's hard to find fault when you're basically the inaugural Lt fly champion in a division no one respected, knew and the major boxing rags and networks at the time didn't even list or recognize. Consequently it's the fans loss. From what I see in Japan gyms can be directly tied to high end media contracts and promotion and an equally rabid fanbase. Really nothing better than some obscure fighter coming into a champs ring and upsetting the program.

Some locales are more prominent at this type of thing than others, though. You mentioned Mexico. Be it for whatever reason, Mexican fighters seem to do this disproportionally more than other fighters. There seem to be more 40-0 and 50-0 fighters from Mexico that, upon further review, have amassed their 40 or 50 wins within a 5-block radius of their neighborhood. Only then do they venture out to Vegas, with a fat record and a whole nation behind them.

Usyk is a boss.

Won the title in Poland
Defended it twice in the States and once in Germany
Then unified in Latvia
Note looks like fighting for the undisputed title in Russia
