    Europe's Boxing Capital

    Germany or the UK?

    I mean where fights are held, not who produces the fighters. A lot of Russians and other Europeans go to Germany, probably cause of Sauerland or Universum, but the UK seems to attract a lot of big fights, because they have such terrific fans that always come out to the fights.

      Fix your first post, England or the UK? lol
      Germany is i'd say. The UK generally only has fights with at least one brit in them.
      germany has fights between fighters from all over europe. All the eastern euros fight out of germany.

        Based upon the growing number of world champions, fighters, and fights, it is Germany.

          If you're talking about Commonwealth fighters, then it's UK.

          Such as Clottey.

                Abstain.

                Most of every country can have a good card altough the most consistent and best are in Germany and UK.

                Denmark is having a nice one with Kessler bringing Showtime there for the first time since Tyson.
                Campillo will probably have a title defense in Spain.Javier Castillejo's awesoem brawl 2 years ago with Carrera was in Spain.
                France had Bell-Mormeck II and Mormeck-Hyae and a few others.
                Switzerland had Abraham-Ayala and Valuev-Holyfield.
                Romania had Diaconu-Henry.
                Russia has it's CWs(Lebedev,Drozd,Tokarev,Alekseev) plus Povetkin.
                Boxing is ok everywhere.

                  I might even go so far to say that Germany's becoming the next "world's boxing capital." I hear boxing is pretty mainstream over there unlike in the U.S....

                    Germany and the UK are the biggest boxing powers in Europe... not doubt. Although when I say Germany I include a lot of the Eastern states who's fighter are based in Germany (K-Bros, Abraham etc).
