Don't think so.

He has to have a British Passport himself.

Can his wife fight?

Dont know if it's a certain amount time you have to be in the Country or if it's that you have to hold a British Passport..
Does Shinny Byhar have one?

I'm sure that if you are licensed by the BBBOC you can fight for British title.

You have to be living for 5 years and you can get one no problems at all, 2 years I believe if married to a UK citizen, well that is what I was told at Durham 3 months ago

Who's the fighter?

This is the official BBBOC ruling on a boxer being eligible to fight for the British title ,Must be a British citizen by birth or be a person born abroad who has since become a British citizen and has been permanently resident and domiciled in the territory for a continuous period of not less than 5 years immediately preceding the championship contest. birth certificate and/or passport must be produced to the board.

I know you probably realise this but if he's born in the Six Counties he's eligible for both passports.

Doesn't need to produce a passport if he is from the 6, just birth cert.

Rocky is from Galway so I assume it's someone down his way, therefore No is the answer.

DM the name to me if you want C.
