Alexander the Great

King of Macedon who built an empire stretching from Greece to northwest India by the age of 30 and never lost a battle. Tutored by Aristotle; tamed the horse Bucephalus as a boy.
Benito Mussolini
“Il Duce” · Italy · 1883–1945 · about 5′7″ (169 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943 and Hitler’s ally in the Second World War. Deposed, rescued by German commandos, then captured and executed by Italian partisans in 1945.

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Alexander by TKO. Mussolini flexes bare-chested for imaginary photographers like the ring is a harvest, but his fencing footwork is useless without a sword. Alexander, wounded many times leading from the front, shrugs off the jabs, walks him down, and Mussolini's corner throws in the towel in round three.
Fair fight? Replace the boxing with a judged pose-off in front of photographers. Mussolini's years of bare-chested harvest practice would finally give him a real chance against Alexander.
