When did eliminators become title fights?

Post by DavidPayne »

7 fights, 7 titles?

Aren't Jennings and Brook contesting an eliminator?

The British title isn't on the line?

Isn't that misleading?

That wasn't how Sky advertised it and I'm sure I've read other contributors on here say the British title wasn't on the line?

The variation of titles is almost as funny as the pull-outs.


Does anybody know how many officially recognized belts there are in world boxing? :-?
