No such thing. Just as Manchester United attracts players from other clubs, so do the big name amateur boxing outfits. From that base home grown talent is easier to nurture.
That's not taking anything away from the great coaches who know how to polish a rough diamond into championship ready form but there's some equally good talent being developed in the provinces, albeit in lesser numbers so they don't get the limelight.

Legions in York have only been going a few years but have had a few national championships, a European champion and several box cup winners. It's also a very impressive set up and they constantly put on sell out shows. Obviously not the best club in Britain but are on the rise.

Emerald the best club in Belfast at the minute, by far, has the Walsh siblings and the Tucker brothers plus a few others although most of the biggest names are recent joinees. St Paul's have Dylan Eagleson and Brendan Irvine. Glean don't really have anyone at Senior level, HT have Jon McConnell and Mac have Caitlin Fryers but not much else (Senior-wise)
