Does anyone know of any titles that were fought for in another country one that springs to mind is Brian Magee vs Tony Oakey fighting for the British Title in Dublin ?

Only difference is Gibralter is technically a British Territory, whereas Dublin is not.

Some world title fights too like Welch v Akinwande, I guess Fury v AJ will, WBS series like Groves v Eubank, Smith and Cox

Belfast's Sam Storey travelled all the way to the States to defend his Irish middleweight title against Steve Collins in Boston in 1988. Both men were unbeaten but Collins punched out a comprehensive 10-round decision.

Andy Lee v Craig Mckewan, but not titles at stake

Remember this, it was a good fight

The PABA Heavyweight title was... Well... Fought pretty much everywhere:
https://boxrec.com/en/titles?t%5Bbout_t ... ight&t_go=

PABA for those unaware was the Pan Asian Boxing Association, the WBA's regional affiliate. But the title ended up being fought for in the UK, the US, Germany, Czech Republic, Chile, Fiji... And plenty of other places...

Here's a Korean Lightweight title bout... In Nepal

Although not listed as such by boxrec (and not recognized by the JBC I don't think) their was a Korean title on the line here

That's due to some peculiar OPBF rule that would have allowed Lito Dante to fight for the Japanese Minimumweight title last year (before covid canceled the bout)

Now that is funny. I can't understand why the Commonwealth is still a thing in sports. It seems a bit racist and old fashioned. Like former British Empire.

Didn’t keeton famously fight for a Dutch title

Lewison did for a pan oriental or something.

Just checked and he did

And of course Prince Patel has won African Union and Tanzinian titles!
I guess he is licensed out of Tanzania now.

Just checked he is actually Commonwealth super fly champ

And also picked up WBO, IBF and WBA regional belts. Must cost him a fortune in sanctioning fees but I guess he gets a ranking in all of them. Expect a genuine world title shot before long.

To be fair he has done a marvellous job managing himself.

has he even been paid for any of those fights, it has the look of him just seeing what rando shows he can buy places on

Even if not it has been a good investment.

Must have been a decent payday in Saudi challenging for the IBO strap

how much you think he wouldve been paid for that one?

I really don't know but guessing 20k all in

Mike McCallum beat Jeff Harding for the vacant British Light Heavyweight title in Bismarck, North Dakota.

As a Japanese fighter, i still don't know how Harding was eligible for the british title there
