With Carson Jones fighting in the UK for the sixth (I think that's right) time, what other foreign fighters fought in the UK or Ireland 3 or more times?

And I'm not talking shite journeymen. But I'm not talking about Ali types either.

I'll start the ball rolling with Donovan Boucher, the Canadian Welterweight who had a 4-2 record spread over 4 years in the UK.

Beat me to it, he seemed to be always over hear:

Is Linares on 3 or 4?

John Ruiz did five.

Sugar Boy Malinga came over 4 or 5 times, didn’t he?

Affif Djelti visited these shores 5 or 6 times, and more often than not defeated the home fighter.

7 i think.

if you include Dublin i think it's 11

2 of my favourite boxers - Winky and Sergio Martinez both came over 3 times each.

Tyson came over 2 times? Or was it 3?

3.. if his Campbell fight was in UK, it would have been 4..

I thought Lorant Szabo fought here more than he did.

Djelti and Makambi both have five.

Matlala has 8, I think.

Juuko was Ugandan, based over here for a few years. He racked up some wins here and then was based in the States.

I'm trying to think of one of those lower weight African dudes who were over here loads, mind's gone blank.

Rakhim Mingaleyev is a name to conjure with, he must have been based here the amount of fights he had here. Same with Toncho Tonchev .

Phillip Ndou fought over here early on in his career 5 or 6 times.
Former world amateur heavyweight champ Georgi Kandelaki fought 14 times over here.

Tshifhiwa Munyai has quite a few fights over here.

Philly heavyweight star Jimmy Young made four trips here and never lost, although Billy Aird held him to a draw.

Acelino Freitas as well.

Tim Witherspoon 3 times

Kotelnik fought M'Baye over here didn't he in a strange match up then went on to fight Khan and Rees. M'Baye fought Rees here as well I'm sure?

McCallum came over at least 3 times, also Glen Johnson about 4 times

Same with Chacon v Polo then both returned to face Scott Harrison. Roman Marrinez a couple of times as well v Cook and Burns.
