i read in BN that tony booth is getting a WBU super cruise weight title shot against garry delaney in january, thats the same booth who haye beat in his pro debut.

Told you the WBU is easier to win than the british

It's disgusting that the so called British Boxing Board OF CONTROL! can let these things carry on...... theres far more of these mickey mouse titles in England than in the USA which says a lot!....... it's so depressing and short changes not just the genuine boxing fans but also the genuinely talented fighters who do not get the acclaim they deserve due to there being so many so called world champs everywhere

Its because of these 'world' titles that boxing is in such a state.

Sickening.

The weight to be contested is not even recognised by the Board (super-cruiserweight; weight limit 14st 12lbs), so they shouldn't allow it to happen, regardless of how good a servant Booth has been. Tony ought to aim for a Northern Area title instead. It's got more prestige than this Mickey Mouse WBU trinket.
