Should we reduce the number of Area titles?

    I would like to see more fighters serving their apprenticeships via the traditional route and an Area title should be more meaningful

    Western Area titles are very rarely fought for and therefore I would like that title merged with the Southern Area title and

    Those in Yorkshire, Manchester etc (Eg Northerners) fight for the Central Area title. My view anyone North of the Midlands should be eligible for a new Norther Area title.

    In summary 3 Area titles - Southern, Midlands & Northern

    Next level - English, Scottish, Welsh & Northern Ireland & a New UK belt for fighters at this level to include fights between home nations fighters.

    Then British level

    Southern, Midlands and Northern sounds good to me.

    I am a big fan of the traditional route.

    Going the traditional route allows you to find your level and occassionaly dare to be great on the next level.

    The WBU, IBU etc are just trinkets that you can hide behind as you try to put together a record to con people.

    PS - I don't won't the new UK belt. We don't need to add. We just need to refine and make popular the traditional route.

    Yep, the UK belt isn't needed. Southern, Central, Northern, Scottish, Welsh and NI.

    I agree with most here. Dont want the new UK belt, British is good enough after the English/Scottish/Welsh etc etc. Northern Southern and Midlands would be better to.

    Nah, we wouldn't need a UK belt. Just move upto British level after winning the English/Scots/Welsh title.
