We do have English champions too, but then the logic of someone winning the English title to work thier way up to challenge for the British simply doesn't seem to happen.

John Murray and Darren McDermott to name two have done it recently

McDermott fought for the British, lost on a cut and THEN fought for the English- although his next fight is an eliminator for the British, so fair play.

another EG, when Lawton beat Gethin he wanted to use it as a stepping stone for a shot at Murray

whicker i think *in theory* the english title should often logically lead to a shot at the british title, it's just that politics/economic/promotional issues get in the way.

think its the best belt in the world,
