We need more of them IMO. A lot of guys seem to be skipping the domestic scene nowadays. It's a pity.

i have watched that fight with about 4 different people ,which loved it that then will also watch it with other people, that is brilliant fight ,

Ryan Rhodes V Jamie Moore

Matty Clarkson V Travis Dickinson

Clarkson v dickinson was one hell of a tear up

If it had been between 2 greats, it would be considered a contender for FOTC.

Lueshing/Saunders II was pretty entertaining.

CAT/Dunstan was good, close fought bout with plenty of give and take.

Absolutely agree. The game is definitely poorer for a lack of big domestic British title fights.

Biggest sinner currently, that comes to mind is Yarde and until most recently Hughie Fury.

Green v Stracey. Minter v Kevin Finnegan. Frankham v Chris Finnegan. Alan Richardson v Les Pickett. Let's not forget!

Renda vs Samuel 1 was great fun. Enzo vs hobson 1 I remember being a good scrap and I personally think moore vs Rhodes was better than moore vs macklin, both great fights btw. Thompson vs haye, Williams vs potter left me speechless and although sprott vs Audley was crap the finish was crazy lol.

Has anyone got a wiki or summary of the British Boxing Yearbook's FOTYs?

I can remember some of them and got a lot of the yearbooks but bit patchy beyond about 2000.

Jamie Cox v Mark Lloyd was a cracker
Don’t think was televised as I never here no one mention it
Am convinced I was only person there

Brilliant !!!

Jamie Mckeever vs Tony Mullholland was a cracker,local derby and all that obviously not on the level of Benn vs Eubank but still a good scrap.

Jamie Moore vs Mathew Macklin aswell,Jamie Moore vs Ryan Rhodes was a decent scrap aswell.

Mark Kaylor v Roy Gumbs

Kaylor v Errol Christie

James Cook v Kaylor

Did I miss any other Kaylor wars?

Have to say, Whyte v Chisora. Astonishing stuff.

Arthur v Foster Jr was terrific as well.

The one where the corner threw the towel in and the ref threw it back out ...

Oh ... ... ... oh wait ... doesn't that still qualify? ... ...

Hatton v Thaxton was a brutal brilliant fight and sticks in my memory

Probably too recent to be mentioned as an all time favourite British fight but Zelfa Barrett v Ronnie Clark was an epic

Samuels v Renda, Hatton v Thaxton, Mullings v Oliver, Davison v Robinson, Enzo mac v Hobson 1 and Lewis v Mason were all entertaining fights.

Davison v Robinson is one of my favourites. Davison v Driscoll was also good. Obviously Davison was known for wars vs Thais & Koreans but his fights versus British opposition are just as good, if not better.

Just seen this one. Agreed.

Kaylor-Gumbs in 1983 at the Ally Pally was a bit special, the first showdown between Mr Warren and the Cartel and a genuine 50-50 fight between the hard-bitten Gumbs and the unbeaten Kaylor, who climbed off the floor to force a sensational stoppage.
