Thank you for your reponse, I think Bunn matches at these criteria of relevancy: 1. he is a national (amateur) champion (AIBA) and 2. he won Chemistry Cup, which is an AIBA tournament of highest category (see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiepokal (first sentence translated: "The Chemiepokal is an international boxing tournament (highest AIBA category) in Olympic boxing [...]")
