Luis Firpo (boxer)
began his boxing career in So America in 1917, 2nd bout was 1918 in So Amer., 6 more wins in So. Amer in 1919
(Im far from a boxing expert) it doesnt look like he was "Huge" until 1922/23
fought Jack Dempsey at New York 9/1923

Benny Leonard (boxer) held the World Lightweight Championship from May 28, 1917 to January 15, 1925
