I've always wondered why we don't have these divisions in the uk.

Anyone know?

I dont think there would be any active fighter's. No point having it if there isn't any boxers..

They can fight at flyweight instead. Those division would be abysmal.

Even though there isn't really any point for a British strawweight/light flyweight title, there is a
case for a commonwealth title with those weights, a lot of lads in Africa fight at that weight and
would be a good money maker for them as well as keeping the commonwealth title in the African
boxing spotlight.

There also is NOT a Euro Title at Super Fly One i dont understand.. I know Super Fly has not been about for years but every other Title is out there at that weight...

Paul Weir is the only british straw/light fly I am aware of. Has there been any others?

I am sure it will come soon, they were pretty slow with the cruiserweight title also.
