  He won the gold medal on Saturday August 8th 1992, so we are after that.

  He did wear red in the final.

  DannyM8 This photo might have appeared in a newspaper, for absolute accuracy [hint, hint]. But thanks for narrowing the date down for us.
  
  With that sunshine, he was certainly still in Barcelona!

• John Spooner said:

  The newspaper photos I've found for the week following 7th August are nearly all action photos from the fight itself.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  John Spooner Thank you for trying.

  Willie Ritchie and Mexican Joe Rivers fight on July 4, 1913.
  www.nytimes.com/1913/07/05/archives/right-cross-blow-wins...
  Right Cross Blow Wins For Ritchie; Rivers Knocked Out In Eleventh Round Of Vicious Fight For Championship. A wicked right cross -- the same blow which was so effective against Ad Wolgast -- proved too great a stumbling block to Joe Rivers in his attempt to wrest the lightweight title from Champion Willie Ritchie at the Eight Street open-air arena here to-day, the Mexican being knocked out in the eleventh round of a scheduled twenty-round battle.
  I created a Wikidata entry for the fight:

  Thanks Richard Norton, we'll add that info to the catalog record.
