This Day In Sports History
February 21, 1896
An Englishman raised in Australia, Bob Fitzsimmons, fought an Irishman, Peter Maher, in an American-promoted event which technically took place in Mexico, winning the 1896 World Heavyweight Championship in boxing.
That's a single boxing match involving five countries.
