In October of 2013,
Brazilian Raphael Zumbano,
AKA Zumbano Love, challenged for the
Universal
Boxing Organization™ (UBO) World Heavyweight
title, losing on points to Fabrice Aurieng
in France.

But that was
only one of many big nights in the ring for
Zumbano, who is a grandson of Brazil's first
ever boxing Olympian, Ralph Zumbano, and a
cousin of arguably the best Bantamweight of all
time Eder Jofre.
Between 2005
and 2019, he compiled a record of 39-17-1 (31),
taking on all comers all over the world. Based
in Las Vegas, he has fought in ten different
countries.
Zumbano is a
former Sao Paolo State champion, Brazil national
champion, South America champion, WBA Fedebol
champion, WBF International champion and IBF,
WBO and WBC Latino champion.

Albeit in
losing efforts, he has shared a ring with former
or future world champions, Anthony Joshua,
Shannon Briggs, Andy Ruiz and Charles Martin,
and contenders Eric Molina, Otto Wallin,
Alexander Ustinov and Filip Hrgovic.
He obviously
didn't reach the amateur highs of his
grandfather, or achieve close to what his cousin
achieved in the professional game, but Raphael
Zumbano was, at his best, a good, solid
heavyweight who did a lot with what he had.
