British boxing is the one thing that keeps me hanging around as a fan and has sustained for years. Now it’s the dominant force in the sport. This news simply adds to that domination. Just look at the card in Manchester this week. All evenly matched contests from the headliner down save perhaps the Barrett fight. All 12 rounder’s because of all the Lonsdale’s (nicest looking belt in the sport). Another great card in Birmingham the following week capped off by Jr and Blackwell at Wembley. People risk their 0's and face adversity much earlier. What is it now 10 or 11 champs with several in the waiting? I think it will be the hotbed soon while this side of the pond scrambles to get fraudulent ppvs on or any meaningful fight whatsoever.
