Highlights of the highly talented and underrated former WBC Light-Heavyweight world champion.
Mate Parlov - Was a Croatian-Yugoslavian boxer and Olympic gold medalist who was European and World Champion as an amateur and as a professional. In 1974, he was voted the Best Balkan Athlete of the Year for 1974. After successfully defending the European title three times, he met Miguel Angel Cuello in Milan for the WBC world light-heavyweight title in January 1978. The two men had been scheduled to meet in the quarter-finals at the Munich Olympics, but Cuello withdrew due to an injury. Parlov knocked out Cuello in the ninth round to become the first professional world champion from a communist country. Parlov lost the title on his second defense and would later challenge for the world cruiser-weight title without success. He retired with a professional record of 24-3-2 (24 KO's).
