    No, you have to win it, then defend it 3 times, so 4 fights in total

    It used to be but now its three....I think the board were sick of lashing out cash for new belts every two minutes

    Neither of them are fit to fight for a British title, it devalues the whole thing

    If the talents not there what can you do? besides Whyte probably would have iced Audley early too.

    If the talents not there then the board shouldn't devalue their title by sanctioning a fight. Whyte would be a lamb to the slaughter.

    That would be extremely harsh on Price, a lot of boxers strive to win the Lonsdale belt outright, it's not big Pricey's fault.

    Im not talking about Price specifically, I mean British title fights in general.

    I understand where your coming from, but unfortunately the talent pool in some of the domestic weight classes are poor.
