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

I dont think there would be any active fighter's. No point having it if there isn't any boxers..
Re: Straw/light flyweight
They can fight at flyweight instead. Those division would be abysmal.ShadrachSimmo wrote:I've always wondered why we don't have these divisions in the uk.

Re: Straw/light flyweight
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.
