Shortest career for a world title challenger: Rafael Lovera [Only registered and activated users can see links] This paraguayan fought against Luis "Lumumba" Estaba for the first light flyweight championship belt, and got KO'ed in 4. Later it was discovered that all the info regarding his previous career was fake, and the guy was actually making his pro debut in that title fight. This was his first and last career fight.
