Stade Louis II was a multi-use stadium in Fontvieille, Monaco. It was initially used as the stadium of AS Monaco FC matches. It was rebuilt and replaced by a new Stade Louis II in 1985. The capacity of the stadium was 12,000 spectators.
In 1936, Prince Louis II of Monaco awarded Jean-Baptiste Pastor and his company J.B. Pastor & Fils, the commission to build the country's first football stadium.[1] It was finished in 1939.
The stadium hosted major professional boxing world title and non title fights from time to time; those include the Carlos Monzon versus Nino Benvenuti rematch,[2] Monzon's rematch with Emile Griffith,[3] Monzon's two classic fights with Rodrigo Valdes,[4][5] Davey Moore versus Wilfredo Benitez,[6] and the double knockout-ending classic between Lee Roy Murphy and Chisanda Mutti (won by Murphy),[7] Other major fights have been held at the similarly named Stade Louis II.
