Area/English/british

[tim99b]

Has anyone got a list of boxers that went the traditional route

[Mimmy]

Personally i dont think there will be a list as no one will be on it.

Ill be very surprised if there is a british boxer who did that route.

Of course area and british but i cant think of any that did the 3 in that sequance

I think Clinton Woods did Area, British, Commonwealth, European then World - I guess the only reason he didn't do the English was it wasn't around in them days!

[Greg Houston]

Kevin McIntyre won the Scottish, Celtic and British in that order.

[BitPlayer]

Saunders did Area, Commonwealth, British

[Rexob]

Sam Sheedy won a central area and English but lost 2 British title fights.

[Nightmare Roy]

Gonna be hard pressed English is pretty new isn't it?

[Dirk Kelly]

Good question. Had a brief look and the closest I’ve found is Josh Wale who won an area then drew for the English and then drew for the British.

[maley1984]

Warrington went English commonwealth British European and I think Selby did the same but Celtic not English title.

[Andy]

Matty Askin?

[REEVE]

Chris Edwards area English British n commonwealth flyweight titles

[Counter-puncher]

Chris Edwards area English British n commonwealth flyweight titles

Chris Edwards area English British n commonwealth flyweight titles

Can’t think of anymore mate tbh - masters tends to get boxed for over area title now

[Counter-puncher]

Yeah. Used to be probably 4 or 5 Midlands title fights a year I would quite look forward to, they don't seem to come along nearly as much any more.

(Its Challenge belts these days, Masters are boxed for on BIBA shows)

[jamamb]

Saunders did Area, Commonwealth, British

bjs went pretty much the complete route didnt he

area, commonwealth , brit (outright), ebu, world

maybe he can vacate the wbo so he can finally add that elusive english title

[forestbox]

Lee Selby did them all I think

[afcmarshall]

Lee Selby did them all I think

Yeah he did won the Welsh, Celtic, Commonwealth and British, EBU then IBF

[chinarich]

Michael Sprott won all three but got the English after winning the British...

[leejonesjnr]

Not the point I know, but that’s not what people mean when they say ‘the traditional route’.
The English title is relatively new and wasn’t included.

[IRLangmaid25]

Off the top of my head.

Tyson Fury had English, British, Commonwealth and European but no area title
I think either Ryan Rhodes and/or Jamie Moore have British, Commonwealth and European but again no Area

Darren Barker won British, Commonwealth and European but not the Southern Area.

[TheGoods]

Mickey Hunter won Area, British (outright), European. Then boxed for IBF world title.

[orbtastic]

When did Area titles get created?

Crawford Ashley went central, European (close SD loss), British, European (draw), WBA (TKO loss), British, WBA (pts loss), European (lost on 2nd defence), British, Commonwealth, European before losing all 3 to Woods. Quite the career.

I think Sibson is the only person to challenge for a world title at the same time as a British title and Lewis the only time a Commonwealth title fought for at the same time as an eliminator but could be wrong on the latter.

You are correct on Tony Sibson as it was against Dennis Andries, who later picked up a British title at Cruiserweight,. As for Lennox Lewis it was against Donovan Ruddock.
