What is a British Boxer?

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (not Southern Ireland, Eire) all count.

 

i wouldnt say northern ireland , that is not britian it is uk

british would be scotland , wales and england

n.ire and ire would be irish

if you are from n.ire you fight for ireland in the olympics

 

No. Wales does though.

 

I always forget about that Britain/ UK distinction.atsch

But being eligible to fight for a Birtish title isn't a bad starting point and NI boxers are able to do that.

I guess theres plenty of "right" answers to this one.

 

I'd still classify McCloskey as British, even though I shouldn't.

 

some boxers from n.ire would consider themselves british coming from the loyalist communities but not many , a few that come to mind would be neil sinclair , scott belshaw , and luke wilton

 

"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland[note 7] ([ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology_of_the_British_Isles"]commonly known[/ame] as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain)"

 

hands off mccloskey


he is as Irish as they come :bbb

 

Are you going to claim Frankie Gavin too?

:think

 

thats for frankie to decide :yep

 

Trade you DeGale for Gavin?

 

no thanks you can keep Ali g

 

England, Scotland, Wales and Protestants in the north of Ireland.

Definitely not Irish fighters.
Scottish fighters of Irish Catholic descent are also entitled not to fight as British imo.
