heavyweight

A Spring 5 web application that allows the user to see who the heavyweight boxing champion of the world was on a specified date (and not much else!). The data is taken from Wikipedia and stuck in a document database. This database can be refreshed, however seeing as the project is now pinned to a fixed version of the Wikipedia page, this is a pointless exercise.
