Is it not meant to be like a French version of the Commonwealth belt, but obviously for former French colonies like Algeria, Mali, Haiti etc?

It’s just another regional belt, plenty of Americans have held the WBO Asia-Pacific and Oriental belts, there are no residency or language requirements...

Thanks, but I already know that as I am one.
My point was that these regional belts from the alphabettispaghetti orgs carry no requirements anyone can contest them...

Sorry, not being a clever pudendum but if a boxing commission wants to be making new titles they have to get the wording correct for it, otherwise people will be taking the piss.

If you're English, but speak French as a second language, do you qualify?

If you're willing to pay the sanctioning fees, I don't see why not.

Demarcus loves an obscure title, he won some UBF Intercontinental Blah-Blah strap also against Harris and some Latam flavoured WBC belts...
