European Titlist become World Champions

EBU title is a very solid belt. The standards are way higher than for the International and Regional titles of the WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF.

Are names I can think of in an instant.
I often find that many fighters have too many tough fights at European level and are worn out by the time they get to world level due to so many tough fights at the Euro level.
An example of this would be D Chisora/D Wilder. Chisora is fighting at European level and has fought D Williams, S ***ton (undefeated), T Fury (undefeated), R Helenius (undefeated), V Klitschko, D Haye and had even signed to fight Wlad Klitschko. That was all in under 20 fights and has since fought undefeated M Scott, E Gerber and K Johnson.
Now look at how Wilder is called top 10 and in 31 fights his biggest win is possibly a Chisora KO victim.

Look at the levels they fought in and when and you can see European level can be very tough and take it out of a fighter before they look to move on

I can think of several fighters that possibly had it too tough at European level before they moved on
