Sorry, I thought you meant heavyweight champion. Villa Park could well be the answer.
I've only kept it in my head because it's a nice little additional claim to fame, if true. (Just had a daydream about Jack Johnson fighting at VP. That would've been great - and probably achievable.)

It's the subject of a documentary, 'When Ali Came to Ireland' which first aired in 2012. It also surprised me that Ali's great-grandfather came from County Clare.
