No interest in this thread! Years before intercontinental etc the Southern Area belt was a sought after title
Audley beat a British fighter for the Euro etc.. former victims winning the Southern Area.. WBF and all that.
You know Lennox with all his glory never won the WBO.. Does that make Fury more unique? Or did Wladimir Klitschko make the WBO?
Yes, it enables Fury to trace his title lineage to Francisco Damiani instead of Tyson. It makes him the man who beat the man, who beat the man . . . who beat Damiani.
