    I have produced a timeline which (should) include every British-born world champion in every division, but no doubt I will have made some mistakes and missed some fighters out.

    Can you guys do me a huge favour and take a look at it for me?

    I am not confident about the first half of the 20th century. :good

    (you can zoom in and out with the sliders)


    BTW - These fighters might be a good start for anyone choosing to write biographies.

    Thanks!

    Wasn't Regan only interim champion though?

    I am not sure whether to include interims or not. What do you think?

    Regan did win a interim title, but also a full WBO title at a higher weight. Including interim champion's is a sticky topic, but personally I would just keep to full champions :good
