Should Delboy be made to vacate his domestic belts as the price for a Wlad fight?

    Good luck to him for his shot, but if he loses he won't be back to defend his belts until June more likely September.

    He should vacate, but remain no.1 contender

    Tyson Fury v Neven Pajkic for the Commonwealth

    Larry Olubamiwo v David Price for the British

    Keep the belts active

    he will only have to vacate if he wins like Jason Booth.

    No.

    He should vacate the Commonwealth.... well, he shouldn't have fought for it really but anyway....

    Win or lose in the Klitschko fight he's still British champion, and as such should keep it.

    I think he should be allowed to keep them unless he wins. Tyson Fury will have to wait.

    And therefore the British belt is limbo for the best part of 2011

    ''Keeping belts active'' only devalues them.

    We should want the best British fighter in a particular division holding the title, not vacant title fights all over the place between one decent fighter and a handpicked safe opponent.

    Yeah, but Fury, Price, Larry, & Co all squaring up will be a plus to the game rather than a detriment. Without the British tag to hang on to the fight it reduces the incentive for the match ups

    if nothing else you put a smile on my face with statements like that.

    i think that fury is ok but nothing he has done so far has me believing that chisora would be so terrified he wouldn't fight him. did you see his fight in canada? wasn't that impressive and still needs alot of work.

    They should be squaring up anyway to earn a shot at both titles against Chisora if/when he loses to Klitschko.

    That way it proves a true domestic #1, rather than two with a claim.... who'll probably milk the titles for a bit and leave the others (inc Chisora) out in the cold.

    The best British fighter in a division should be British champion. We don't want the 7th best or 5th best having it and just cherrypicking a few defences so they get one for keeps.

    He should be allowed to keep hid belts and for the people who thinks he's scared of fury you must b having a laugh he'd destroy fury all day.
