Post by ShadrachSimmo »

I've always wondered why we don't have these divisions in the uk.

Anyone know?

They can fight at flyweight instead. Those division would be abysmal.

Even though there isn't really any point for a British strawweight/light flyweight title, there is a
case for a commonwealth title with those weights, a lot of lads in Africa fight at that weight and
would be a good money maker for them as well as keeping the commonwealth title in the African
boxing spotlight.
