    If we had an annual professional UK Championship (the tournament would be separate from the British Championship). You could have the 1/4 finals most weights 4 venues around the country at the start of the year. The semi finals around June with the Grand Finals in say the 02 or MEN Arenas as a major event in the Boxing Calender. The 1/4 final would be over 8, semi over 10 & finals as a 12 rounder.

    Imagine the UK HW Championships

    QF1 - David Price v Richard Towers
    QF2 - Larry Olubamiwo v Matt Skelton
    QF3 - Tom Dallas v John McDermott
    QF4 - Michael Sprott v Martin Rogan

    No current title holders eligable for entry 4 venues over the same month on different dates with equivalent 1/4 finals at other weights on the bill

    The format is identicle to Prizefighter except that the fights are longer and the tournament takes place over the course of a year

    I believe there is a tournament in France called 'coupe de la ligue' which has run in a similar format successfully for many years. Prizefighter works. If the names do not take part it could creat opportunities for other less fashionable fighters

    French boxing is 'weird' to say the least
