Apparently sheffield's John Keaton is fighting Don Diego Poeder for the Vacant Dutch Cruiserweight title this Saturday.
Is this correct? How can this be???? Unless it's some sort of Dutch International title, in a similar vein to the German international title....

Take a peak at who Richel Herisisia beat to win the DUTCH heavyweight title.
Its a common theme.

He's fought (and maybe won I cannot remember) for the Belgium title aswell.
Its very odd, but not unique.

My good friend Freiheit explained this one to me..
As there are so few Dutch boxers they bring boxers from outside the Netherlands to fight for the title but only the Dutch man can win the title

Brings a tear to the eye...hands across the ocean...a Dane explaining to an Englishman about the vagaries of Dutch titles!
Only in boxing!

Do you win a belt? A Trophy or a Dutch Cap?
