World champions who did not win a British title

[bripez]

The likes of Frank Bruno, Naz, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Richie Woodall, Robin Reid, David Haye all won World titles but non ( I think) ever boxed for a British title.

Any more that I missed ?

Do you reckon that looking back they regret not winning a British title ?

Being a bit of a romantic I do like it when a boxer gets the full set of British, Commonwealth, European and Workd titles - like Clinton Woods, who started with an Area title.

Benn and Watson fought for the British title didn't they?

Just double checked - they boxed for the Commonwealth title, not the British.

Fair enough, always thought it was the British.

Reid lost to Froch and Anderson in challenges for the title.

I don't think Duran ever won a British title neither did Tyson

[stevieb_8006]

What about Scott Harrison? Did he win British?

World champions who did not win a British title

As far as I can remember, Mike Tyson never boxed for a British title.

[cocobongo]

Bit different but Enzo Mac and Gavin Rees never won British Titles until after they had already held world titles

Steve Robinson. Eamonn Loughran?

Ricky burns bypassed British too

Burns was beaten by Alex Arthur and Carl Johannson in British title fights

[ILikeBeer]

Did David Haye ever have a British title? I remember him having a European one, but not sure about British.

[stujones]

Steve Robinson. Eamonn Loughran?

As with some of the other fighters - Steve Robinson fought for the British title after he lost the world title.

Frank Bugaloni, Eubank Jnr, Carl Frampton

Frank Bugaloni, Eubank Jnr, Carl Frampton

Think you are jumping the gun a bit with Buligioni and Jr being world champs

[bennie]

I think the British world champions mentioned would regret not winning a Lonsdale Belt as opposed to a British title. Barry McGuigan and Duke McKenzie both missed out, even though they held the British title.

Jason Matthews, Nicky Cook, Barry Jones and Paul Weir

Jason Matthews, Nicky Cook, Barry Jones and Paul Weir

I'm sure Cook held all the domestic belts at featherweight?

Ricky burns bypassed British too

Carl J hammering him for the belt is not a bypass!

And Alex Arthur.
