- Gerald McClellan
His second fight in the UK ended in tragic circumstances, but McClellan’s British debut was an emphatic one-round blowout of John Mugabi.

Barrera was a shell of his former self when he face Amir Khan, but prior to that he beat Paul Lloyd while back in his pomp.

- Wladimir Klitschko
Before he conquered the heavyweight division, Klitschko stopped Monte Barrett in seven rounds in London.
- Sergey Kovalev
Much like Crawford, Kovalev was not much of a known quantity when he wrecked WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly in Wales.
- Mikkel Kessler
Though the great Dane never won on these shores, he was involved in some hugely enjoyable and memorable nights against Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe.
- Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright
Wright dazzled in three consecutive UK outings, retaining his WBO super-welterweight title in all three.
- Terence Crawford
Before the world opened its eyes to the Omaha native’s brilliance, Crawford upset a Glasgow crowd by outpointing Ricky Burns.
- Kostya Tszyu
Tszyu was at the height of his powers and considered one of the top fighters in the world when Ricky Hatton emphatically dethroned him in Manchester.
