Who was the last fighter to win an area title, and to follow up with the British, Commonwealth and European (EBU) crowns, before winning a world title?
Even if you include the English title as an area title, there is no Euro crown of Froch's otherwise excellent resume.
The Gilpin fight was a war. Strange to think the bloke that struggled to win that fight would one day KO Don Curry for the undisputed welterweight title!!
