Jung-Koo-Chang
Jung Koo Chang (born February 4, 1963 in Busan) is a South Korean world boxing champion. His nickname is The Korean Hawk.
In Chang's first world title try, he lost to Hilario Zapata of Panama by a decision in 15 rounds in 1982. However, in a rematch held at Seoul, he avenged that loss and became world champion by knocking out Zapata in three rounds.
Chang then went on to establish a world record for the most defenses as a world Jr. Flyweight champion, defending the title successfully 16 times between 1983 and 1989 when he lost to Humberto Gonzalez.
He failed in two attempts to win the WBC flyweight title against Sot Chitalada and Muangchai Kittikasem.
Chang had a record of 38 wins and 4 losses, with 17 wins by knockout.
