    I was thinking about this. In all my time following the sport, this has to be the worst state of British boxing

    Not sure. Wasn’t Calzaghe the only one for years?

    Nah, providing you count the WBO belt. There was a lean couple of years between Lewis retiring and Hatton beating Tszyu, but Johnny Nelson and Scott Harrison had their belts throughout that period as well.

    In 2016 we held 17 of 68 belts I believe, at various points, not sure what the most was at any given time

    The saudis have eroded the domestic scene and they are now just recycling the same fighters since there are no new faces being promoted

    Don't worry Conner Henn will win a belt soon. And lead the future of British boxing.

    Says Eddie.
