Groves-Johnson is the first legit Commonwealth Title Fight since...?

I was just thinking how rare it is to see the best British fighter taking on the best Commonwealth fighter for the Commonwealth Title. Obviously Froch is better than Groves but given that he holds a world-title that's the way things go these days.

Really struggling to think of the last legit Commonwealth title fight? Any suggestions? A somewhat obscure question, I admit...

Fury-Chisora? Haye had retired, Price was still green, there weren't any HWs from elsewhere in the Commonwealth who I would rank above those two.

Fury-Pajkic was also a reasonable fight, Pajkic was probably top 5 in Commonwealth.

Lewis-Ruddock.
