    The criteria is your own; be it sheer action, high level boxing, two great fighters early in their career, or whatever tf you want. The only rule is that the British Title had to be on the line.

    My pick; if it's not available in your country you'll have to either download it via the link and one of the many YouTube converters, or simply use a free VPN.

    Matty Clarkson vs Travis Dickinson, and if you haven't seen it, you should really check it out. It's an incredible brawl with massive momentum shifts. Thanks to @Young Terror for finding the vid and sharing it.

    Benn vs Watson a highly anticipated match up, the Dark Destroyer facing the Gentleman Sportsman and Class Boxer, Michael Watson.

    apart from being a Big Fight, Huge Crowds and TV Viewership, it also proved to be one of the Biggest Upsets in Boxing and not just British Boxing.

    yeah the Destructive Fighter in Benn and the Pure Talent of a 1st Class Boxer in Watson - that is what Boxing is supposed to be...

    Rose vs Rudkin perhaps? It contains an ATG bantamweight contender and an ATG bantamweight champion,just in one fight.

    Time is short, and it's hard to spend as much time with your favourite boxing as you'd like, but one British title fight I always make time for rewatching is Poor Old Danny Williams vs Mark Potter. If you know you know.

    I also take a weird amount of satisfaction out of watching Andy Thill kick the **** out of Tony Collins.
