'Falucho' stopped Peter Mathebula in Soweto to win the WBA title in 1981, he lost it in his first defence to Luis Ibarra before winning it back a year later against Juan Herrera. Wins against men like Prudencio Cardona and Hilario Zapata followed before he moved up to Super Fly.
Kane held both the British and 'World' titles at Flyweight. In 1938 the Liverpool born slugger decked Jackie Jurich 5 times before going on win the World title on points. He immediately relinquished the belt to move up to Flyweight where he won the European title.
