1910 T218 Champions, Honey Melody 🥊 World Welterweight Champion
You'd be hard pressed to find a sweeter name than Honey Mellody.
Mellody won the World Welterweight Championship on October 16, 1906, by defeating the legendary Barbados Joe Walcott in a fifteen-round decision.
His reign and fights helped elevate the welterweight division’s prestige at a time when heavier weight classes dominated public attention, paving the way for future stars.
He died at the young age of 35, in 1919, but his legacy remains as one of the early world champions whose career helped pave the way for others.
