Some profiles are updated but this is pathetic.

Never the less, I found this very interesting news:

http://www.britishboxing.net/jobs.html

Maybe some of you Brits might want to take advantage of their offer.

Britishboxing.net always welcomes new writers.

You can tailor your commitment depending on how much you want to do really. It's unpaid (for all of us) but rewarding and a potential foot in to further writing, if you are that way inclined. Our focus, as the website name betrays, is boxing involving British fighters. We try to cover as many promotions as we can by having someone at ringside (via a free press pass) who will send in results and file a report asap, to get us ahead of the competition. But you can also make a valuable contribution without ever having to leave your house, if that's what you want!

My main concern is to improve and maintain the integrity of the writing on the site. However, if you are not a particularly confident writer but still are keen to contribute, don’t worry. I will give you plenty of helpful advice and help tidy things up.

We would welcome your input on anything you like related to British boxing - previews, fight reports, news snippets, opinion pieces, features...you would have the freedom to control your own input. Before you kick off doing anything (e.g. a preview for a big fight), you might want to check with me to see if anyone else is on the case.

We have press credentials with every major promoter in Britain and are undoubtedly the leading British website for domestic fight reports. If you would like to be a part of this, it is an option open to you (after we have a look at your writing, naturally!).

Get back to me
http://www.britishboxing.net/?page=c...stination=jobs
whenever you are ready with any suggestions of potential pieces you fancy doing/questions about the site and we'll take it from there.

British boxing is updated by the same guys as boxrec,

The reason why Pavlik only has two bouts is they onyl compile the records of British fighters - foreign fighters usually only appear when they are on the same bill as a british fighter or fight a british opponent.

They are not trying to provide a comprehensive service, just cover the british boxers,

its got a good newsflow as well. they are normally first with british news due to a range of contacts - Frank Maloney writes for them once in a while,
