The Commonwealth flyweight title he relinquished.
His opponent on Saturday week, Dale Robinson, subsequently picked up the vacant crown.

Booth gave up the belt several months before winning the IBO title (and before the fight was even mooted; indeed, Dale Robinson was due to challenge Ntnotela for the IBO title before Booth, but a brain scan hitch scuppered that).
I'm trying to establish whether Booth gave up the Commonwealth belt to avoid an earlier showdown with Robinson (not that Booth has ever avoided anyone).

could be like the Moore-Williams case. Ringside sharing the belts around, which is wrong really.
