    This could fall on its arse but i think there will be some interesting ones.

    When i heard Jono hadn't won one i was really surprised any other big name domestic fighters that didn't win it..

    Charlie Magri, he was that much better than the other Flyweights that the BBBoC just gave him a belt.

    Haye and Naz completely bypassed the British title.

    Audley, Danny regained the title after he inflicted the quickest beating he ever received.

    Second the linage through prize-fighter.

    McGuigan, John Feeney...

    Witter was awarded one by the Board.

    Is there still a rule that you have to be 21 to fight for it? That would explain why Naz didn't fight for it, by that age he was way above that level.

    Yep, won it when he beat Derek Williams for the Commonwealth Title too.

    But like GazOC said Bruno didn't.
    Bruno skipped the British title entirely.
