Easy trivia question here - so answers please without research.

Prior to the Hamed vs Kelly PPV There was the opportunity for the Britain to go up to 10 World champions (WBO,IBF,WBA,WBC). Prior to the PPV there were 6 defending champions and 3 challenging for titles.

Can you name the 9 boxers and the respected titles defended (or challenged).

I think the reason why no one is having a go at your question is because it doesn't make sense. If you change 'the Britain' to 'Britain' or, possibly, 'the Briton' it might get a bite or two. Even then it would still be a bit hard to decipher what you are asking.

Are you saying there were 9 Britons who won 'world' titles prior to Hamed and you want us to name them and the 'world' titles they held?

I'm guessing it's who were the Brtish world champs/challengers immediately prior to the Hamed fight?

I looked up the fate of the fight just to jog my memory. Still terrible.

Lennox at heavuweight. And Hide WBO champion or about to challenge for it.
At cruiser Nelson WBO champ? Or perhaps it was still the Thompson-Eubank fights? definitely someone British had the title at this time I'm sure.
Definitely no one at light heavy. RJJ had 3 titles and Michaelezuski (sp) had the WBO title.
And at super middle, Eubank by this time I think was already up at cruiser or was finished, so Calzaghe would be WBO champ here. Reid I think WBC champ but not sure. Benn's reign had definitely finished though.

hmm, tough now. Barry Jones and Robbie Regan? You surely had to get some Welshmen in here stu.

That's my lot. 5 or 6

Rhodes v Grant for the WBO???

There was a big card on at the London Arena. From memory Reid defended his WBC Super-Middle, Dodson get hammered by Winky (WBO light-middle), Barry Jones won on points for the WBO super-feather and Micky Cantwell failed to win the WBO strawweight.

Sorry for the confusion.

What I was thinking of was the 6 world title holders and the 3 challengers on the Hamed vs Kelley PPV.

Ryan Rhodes wasn't on it. But basically if you combine answers you are correct.

So, basically.

Existing Champs

Lennon (WBC heavy)
Hide (WBO heavy)
Carl Thompson (WBO cruiser)
Calzghe (WBO supermiddle)
Reid (WBC suppermiddle)
Hamed (WBO feather)

Challenging champs

Dodson (WBO lightmiddle)
Jones (WBO superfeather)
Cantwell (WBO straweight)
