   After capturing the combined WBA & WBC world featherweight titles from Sugar Ramos in 1964, Vicente Saldivar of Mexico successfully defended them against all comers 7 times, including 3 defeats of the fine Welshman Howard Winstone and 2 of the Japanese and OPBF champion Mitsunori Seki, before retiring for the 1st time in 1968.  Winstone and Seki fought for the vacant crown and the victor Winstone lost in Wales to Jose Legra, who then accepted the challenge of Johnny Famechon to battle in the Royal Albert Hall in London in January of 1969.  Legra lost and by the time Saldivar returned to professional boxing, Famechon had beaten Japanese challenger Fighting Harada twice.  With the southpaw Saldivar anxious to re-establish his reputation, the fight slated in Rome’s former Olympic venue had the hallmarks of a classic clash.  The Mexican returned to the ring where he lost his only fight in the 1960 Rome Games as a featherweight for his nation’s team to the Swiss Chervet, and did not disappoint his old professional fans, earning the mixed decision over the Brit champ to hold high the world belt once again.
