What British title clashes were absolute bangers? I'll try and list a few that come immediately to mind where to boxers are fighting exclusively for the British Title. Henry Cooper Vs Joe Bugner 1971 Heavyweight (maybe just a controversial one?) Jim Watt Vs Ken Buchanan Lightweight 1973 Bunny Johnson Vs Dennis Andries Light Heavyweight 1980 David Pearce Vs Neville Meade 2 Heavyweight 1983 Lennox Lewis Vs Gary Mason Heavyweight 1991 and more recently Tyson Fury Vs Derek Chisora 1 and 2 2011 and 2014 Troy Williamson Vs Ted Cheeseman Welterweight 2021 Denzil Bentley Vs Linus Udofia Middleweight 2022 Any other British domestic title clashes worth mentioning?
There were quite a few.... I think every year there's at least one great battle for the British title. Jamie Moore vs Matthew Macklin was a true classic. Some others: Wayne Alexander vs Paul Samuels Jamie Moore vs Michael Jones III Kevin Anderson vs Young Mutley Michael Gomez vs Alex Arthur Michael Gomez vs Carl Johanneson Lee Meager vs Dave Stewart Shane McPhilibin vs Leon Williams Chris Edwards vs Paul Edwards Chris Edwards vs Andy Bell Shinny Bayaar vs Ashley Sexton.
I think Nigel Benn vs. Michael Watson in 1989 was for the Commonwealth Middleweight Championship, and that match is a classic.
Two greats, though Watson proved that a 'Tough' Controlled Classic BOXER can often beat the Killers. I was awed by Watson, heart broken for Benn...
