well the hylands do qualify for british titles (mother from birmingham) and applebys first defence is against pickering, so i dont think he will have the title to face lindsay, well jamie moore was more than happy to fight for an irish title back in july so it must mean something, and who else has irish titles? andy lee, jim rock in 4 weights, kevin mcbride, oisin fagan, andrew murray, colin moffit, matthew macklin, so obviously it does mean something and for the hylands to all hold national titles has never been done in any country ever (fact!) and paul hyland bet marc callaghan for the title so he must of taught it was worth something too,MatthewS wrote:Without wishing to get too involved....
Aren't Lindsay and Appleby meeting up for the British Featherweight Title soon (that being the point of the Lindsay-Matthews fight)
In the scheme of things, the British title is still a prestigious belt in boxing, enough that many Irish boxers who qualify for it compete for it. The Irish belt doesnt hold the same cache in the wider world, does it?
so as many british blokes who qualify for irish titles will fight for them as well as irish fighting for british titles,
, sounds like someones got a bit of Dublin bias.
