The easy answer to that is Ingemar Johansson. There was a huge spike in boxing interest in Sweden during his prominence in the late 50's to mid 60's.
They even brought several American fighters over there for fight promotions.
Ali never fought there, but several of his various opponents did and he falls in the right time span.
