Yeah Kirkland won the British welter title in 79, 87 and 90 he also won the European in the 80s and 90s.

Fvcking hell. Nice fact

Also impressive is Henry cooper winning British, commonwealth and European heavy titles in the 50s, 60s and 70s !

Not bad for a cruiserweight.

Just had a look at McKenzie record, he just missed out, what was impressive tho was the fact he won the British light welter title in 1989 which was 11 years after he first won it in 78, think Ryan Rhodes also achieved that feat at light middle.

I always thought Goerge Chuvalo and the Canadian title was kind of intersting. He first won the Canadian title in 1958. He was the Canadian champion in 1978 when he retired.

Ted Kid Lewis had a 20 year career, bookended by British title wins at featherweight and welterweight. He did also have a somewhat farcical Commonwealth title fight at light heavy.

Nel Tarleton - First won British feather title in '31 and ended his career (defending?) the title in '45

Dennis Andries fought Terry Dunstan for the British Cruiserweight title that why I thought the same as well.
