If you're going to count belt champions there might even be more. There were only 2
world champions: Fitzsimmons (learned the trade in Australia) and Lewis (born in Jamaica and learned the trade in Canada). Fury, having been given the decision over world champion Klitschko, is number 3 and the first real British world heavyweight champion born and raised.
