Is it not meant to be like a French version of the Commonwealth belt, but obviously for former French colonies like Algeria, Mali, Haiti etc?

It’s just another regional belt, plenty of Americans have held the WBO Asia-Pacific and Oriental belts, there are no residency or language requirements...

Word: Francophone (noun) meaning 'a person who speaks French.'

Thanks, but I already know that as I am one.

My point was that these regional belts from the alphabettispaghetti orgs carry no requirements anyone can contest them...

Sorry, not being a clever pudendum but if a boxing commission wants to be making new titles they have to get the wording correct for it, otherwise people will be taking the piss.

Didn't David Lemieux fight for something similar recently?
A lot of people can speak some French
Even I can get by with the necessities; combien coûte un travail manuel

If you're English, but speak French as a second language, do you qualify?

If you're willing to pay the sanctioning fees, I don't see why not.

ILikeBeer · Post by **ILikeBeer** » 01 Jun 2018, 06:56

Do you have to pay the sanctioning fees in Euros?

How can the language you speak be a thing for boxing

If it was French speaking countries... maybe... but... how does talking affect boxing lol?

Then you would be eligible to fight for the EBU-EU, the Francophone and WBC Latino titles all in one night.

Demarcus loves an obscure title, he won some UBF Intercontinental Blah-Blah strap also against Harris and some Latam flavoured WBC belts...
