Answer 2

the last scheduled 15 round title fight was probably tony tucker vs buster Douglas for tha vacant ibf title in may '87

the last full 15 round heavyweight title fight was Tim witherspoon beating tony tubbs on the 17 January 1986 by majority decision for the wba title

Answer 3

the last full 15 rounder was probably barry mc guigan vs eusebio pedroza for the featherweight title in 1985.

the last scheduled 15 rounder was probably terry marsh vs akio kemada for the ibf jr welterweight title in July 87.

boxrec.com wrongly states that the frank tate vs tony sibson fight for the ibf middleweight title in february '88 was a 15 rounder. in fact even though the ibf still had 15 rounders in those days, the british boxing board of control wouldn't allow the fight to go any more than 12 rounds.

hope this helps.
