    Audley Harrison
    Nathan Cleverly
    Brian Magee
    Darren Barker
    Ryan Rhodes
    Matthew Hatton
    Paul McCloskey
    Rendall Munroe
    Jamie McDonnell

    it could become 11 pretty soon with Murray fighter McAllister and Enzo fighting in Russia for the EBU at the end of the month.

    the only titles we are missing are at Featherweight and Super Featherweight.

    The Eastern Euros don't seem interested in the European title, I don't know what they do fight for, probably international titles or something.

    Other than that there aren't many places in Europe that produce alot of boxers, just the UK, Italy, perhaps Spain. There's hardly any boxing here in Holland, there's not much in France or Denmark in my experience, Germanys fighters aren't often German, it leaves the European title more up for grabs to British & Irish fighters.
