I was also going to post in the other thread - who had won the 4 titles in 4 separate fights.
There are quite a few “2 for 1’s” and also a few where a boxer wins 3 (British, Commonwealth and European) in one single fight.
Not detracting from the achievement, just out of interest
Beyond that there are a few British boxers who have won these titles by fighting other British boxers - it would be interesting to see who won their titles against Commonwealth and European opposition
Beyond even that it world be good to see who won vacant titles or against a reigning champion

Wharton won Commonwealth against Australian Rod Carr, European against Galvano from Italy, British against Castro Smith from England. Can’t get any more international than that.

And he had 3 attempts at World Titles - against 3 different British boxers!

Alex Arthur won and defended all 3 titles. His British title wins were all vacant but he beat both Commonwealth and EBU champs. Then defended them all against Ricky Burns. Fck me Burns is an old bastard

Carl Frampton did not win the British title. But he did win Celtic Nations, Commonwealth, European and World honours...
If he wins tonight that will his 3rd boxing body (IBF, WBA & WBO?)...
Not a bad run at it...

Jim didn't quite manage to win the Commonwealth title. He was outscored by Nigeria's Jonathan Dele in a 15-rounder in Lagos but he did prove successful in South Africa, winning two of three fights there. This all happened in the days when Jim had no major backing and was forced to travel.
