I was reading the article on Britishboxing.net about the latest championship match ups from the BBBoC. Some unusual ones I have to say.
Firstly, I looks like Jimmy Vincent will get his shot at the winner of Hare vs Barnes as Harry Dhami has pulled out of the proposed eliminator. I applaud the involvement of Vincent, long overdue.
Another fighter who is long overdue a shot is Alan Bosworth, He won an eliminator yonks ago - but again there seems no proposed date for him vs Witter. Instead, Bosworth has the option of fighting for the EU championship vs Francis Barrett. I think that is a bit of tough fortune for Bosworth, he deserves his shot at the big prize following his win over Smith. I'm sure his #1 status will be jeopordised if he refuses to take the Barrett match.
Did John Simpson win some kind of eliminator contest at Featherweight, I believe his #1 ranking is a bit of a kind jesture if he didn't (Stephen Foster Jnr anyone?)
Another strange match up is the proposed Oboh vs Michaelenko match up for the EU title. This would be a backward step for a backward belt for Oboh and if the match goes ahead, it only shows just how avoided he is.
Browne vs Swaby is a decent eliminator for the British Cruiserweight title.
British title scene.
Granted, but Bosworth has come back from that and one his eliminator bouts that the BBBoC sanctioned. I am not saying Bosworth will beat Witter, because he won't. However, when you've won these eliminator's you have earned your crack at the title.theguru wrote:You may not remember because it wasnt on TV but Witter totally destroyed him
