UK's world title contestants - where in the world?

eubank in egypt

[Cholo_cws]

Wayne Elcock - Switzerland

That's a good one which made me think was Haye-Valuev there?

Damaen Kelly challenged for a flyweight title in Colombia. I keep thinking Venezuela might be one. Jamaica, Trinidad, Philippines all in my thinking too.

(IBO titles not counting as world titles should the Eubanks be looking in )

Glenn McCrory - Russia

Great Boxing Monthly article on that.

Moth banquet Valuev 'beat' Holyfield in Switzerland. Haye fight was Germany. I know what you mean about Jamaica and Trinidad!

GREAT FORUM TOPIC.

Sadly no. It'd be about '99 I reckon. It was a retrospective. The fight was 92/92.

I have all my BMs in a sideboard cabinet that tumble out every time I open it. My wife isn't so impressed.

Eubank in Ireland if we are counting that too?

I hate having to explain my tower of old boxing magazines. "Why on earth do you need them?" "Because I might need to refer to them while arguing with strangers on an internet boxing forum."

It does.

[milpool]

Murray Sutherland - South Korea

[tobyh5]

Chic Calderwood - Puerto Rico

[all at sea]

Walter McGowan-Thailand.

[Greg Houston]

Whilst not quite the topic, the thread got me thinking about all British world title fights to take place outside of the UK.
I can think of at least two - Hamed v McCullough and Lewis v Akinwande

[banjo]

Honeyghan defeated Gene Hatcher in Spain to retain his WBC and IBF belts, at a bullring if I remember correctly which was postponed for a day.

[ElJefe]

Are we counting minor titles? If so, didn't Courtney Fry fight Roy Jones for some bullshit Cruiserweight World title in Latvia?

[chinarich]

Are we counting interim belts? Brian Magee won the wba in Costa Rica if I recall correctly...

[boxingscotland]

Eubank in South Africa and Portugal.

[boxingscotland]

Alan Rudkin in Japan and John Caldwell in Japan also in Japan Ken Buchanan.

[dr_devious]

Jonny Caldwell fought Eder Jofre in Brazil.

Alan Rudkin challenged Lionel Rose in Australia as well as Fighting Harada in Japan.

Ryan Rhodes in Mexico

This thread has caused an hour of frustration in pursuit of an original country (failing thus far), and may well stop me sleeping tonight

I was the same but had Chic Calderwood up my sleeve and only because my first boxing trainer fought him so I was familiar with him.

Now that guy (my trainer) had a rich history. Fought for the British & Commonwealth titles in the 60's, sparred Archie Moore, had to jump out of a window after a bout once, became a stuntman and beat up Dirty Den on Eastenders and then died playing cricket for our home town.

What a life! What a story!

Walter McGowan-Thailand.

Well done. I must admit I'd wondered about McGowan as I have the programme for his rematch with Chionoi somewhere but I really wasn't too sure.
