british masters title

MTG · Post by **MTG** » 31 Jul 2006, 15:14

is there anywhere you can get a list of the holders of these titles?

dondada · Post by **dondada** » 31 Jul 2006, 15:15

Not to my knowledge. Is there a particular weight you are interested in and I'll see if I can help?

jomothepure · Post by **jomothepure** » 31 Jul 2006, 17:14

Here's a few of them.

Carl Baker
Carl Wright
Steven Spartacus
Joey Vegas
John Humphrey
Gary Reid
Darren Johnstone

Johnstone and Reid are definitely holders. As Golmour is pretty big on them and they were won fairly recently. Likewise Vegas I think. The lower in weight you go there's less and less call on them

The light-middleweight title is vacant. It will be contested by Telford's Mark Lloyd and Birmingham's Terry Adams on September 1st in Wolverhampton.

Tom Podmore.

Just another title. I think predominantly designed for the lower ranked British boxers to give them something to "win."

I don't understand that. If I was going to make up a title Id atleast pretend I was world champion how much does the WBF cost nowerdays

Of those who make their sanctioning fees public, the WBE is cheapest.

Can't find no pics of what the masters title looks like either.

Even though it's the womens version of the title, the blokes looks the same.

World Boxing Empire, formally World Boxing Syndicate. World title fights cost $900.

Jacklord Jacobs was once the British Masters heavyweight champion. Dont know whether it was undisputed though.

Looks like it was made in a cheap trophy shop.

I think all fighters that hold a british license can fight for the masters title. Its like the International German Title.

MTG · Post by **MTG** » 02 Aug 2006, 08:28

it was originally for the small hall fighters to go for but no one seems that interested in paying sanctioning fees for a bauble like this.

has a good rule tho that anyone can challenge the holder and if the holder says no he has to vacate.

THEBUTCH · Post by **THEBUTCH** » 02 Aug 2006, 08:29

Good comparison Freiheit. It's was also designed to help boxers get work.

Bruce Baker should have an up to date list of title holders.

kevin · Post by **kevin** » 02 Aug 2006, 08:44

These were the last people to win the belts, not sure if they still 'hold' the belts or not

Heavy - Carl Baker
Cruiser - Carl Wright
Light-Heavy - Steve Spartacus
Super-Middle - Joey Vegas, defends on 20th August
Middle - Jon Humphrey - now retired
Light Middle - Adnan Amar
Welter - Nathan Ward
Light-Welter - Gary Reid
Light - Sam Rukundo
Super-Feather - Darren Johnstone
Feather - Choi Tseveenpurev - Vacant I believe.
Super-Bantam - Gary Davis
Bantamweight - Not contested since 2002 - Chris Emanuelle
Flyweight - Not contested since 2001 - Delroy Spencer.

I think that's it, I may have missed some!

"Send a letter in to Bruce Baker (the man in charge of the Masters belts) and the champion has to box you within four weeks. There's no negotiation on money. The money is set. It's £1800 for the champion and £1200 for the challenger.

Found this on http://www.britishboxing.net, explains the way it works if anyone is interested!

Scrub that. Global Boxing Council do world titles for $850. And you can get ranked for a ton.

good digging for the info on the masters dopey

Really? Might be a $100 well spent...but only if I can crack the top ten.

Unfortunately I doubt you could boil down to 130 Ian, otherwise I'd have advised you go for the superfeather option. They may have been able to squeeze you in there:

Superfeatherweight (130 lbs)
World Champion: vacant

01 vacant
02 vacant
03 vacant
04 vacant
05 vacant
06 vacant
07 vacant
08 vacant
09 vacant
10 vacant
11 vacant
12 vacant

Of course young Josh here, who's looking for opportunities in the "WBE world slightly over weight ex student" division. Well he has an altogether tougher path to follow:

Heavyweight (200 lbs +)
World Champion: vacant

01 Ross Puritty (USA)
02 vacant
03 vacant
04 vacant
05 vacant
06 vacant
07 vacant
08 vacant
09 vacant
10 vacant
11 vacant
12 vacant

Absolute class, Jomo.

At the minute, due to a thyroid problem (the bloody thing keeps making me eat take aways and drink alcohol) I reckon I deserve the number two slot after Purrity.
