Depends if his cousins sister ate chicken and if she got it from Tesco.

if he held a British passport that would be enough,

You got to be able to spell british to be eligible.

lol

i think all you have to do is become a british citicen and be based hear then you can fight for the title

There's some minimum period of residency if you don't have citizenship. I believe it's 10 years. Rule applied to Herbie Hide (Nigerian) and Takaloo (Iranian).

Any ideas if Bami is eligable?

Check the Boxing News rankings; I think they put an asterism next to British-BASED fighters who are not yet officially British.
