I know a Irish people get upset when Irish fighters like, Mike McCallum and Steve Collins get grouped in as British, but personally I just see anyone from the British Isles as our home nations fighters.

What’s with this McCallum thing ?

He's from Cleckheaton, but got involved with some lads from Chappletown and developed an accent. Some flat eathers claim hes Jamaican.

Ive said before,McCallum is from Birmingham and he got his distinctive Jamaican accent hanging round with Ali Campbell from reggae band UB40

Usyk is now 8-0 again British fighters

Although he’s beaten 3 of them twice and Chisora fight was not a world title fight.
