With 8 World Champions, the UK has the 2nd most champions in boxing behind the USA.

WBA (Regular) 122: Scott Quigg
WBA (Regular) 118: Jamie McDonnell
IBF 168: James DeGale
IBF 147: Kell Brook
IBF 126: Lee Selby
IBF 122: Carl Frampton
WBO 154: Liam Smith
WBO 135: Terry Flanagan

A lot can happen in two years...

In 2013, only one those guys on that list was a champion and that was McDonnell. They also had Cleverly and Froch as well.

But this is definitely the UK golden era in boxing imo. Fury also has a chance to make it 9 by becoming the HW champion, although I'm not sure where his allegiance lies with GBR or Ireland.

The interesting thing is the UK has more exciting prospects and contenders then champions.

Anthony Joshua
Billy Joe Saunders
Dillian Whyte
Chris Eubank Jnr
Martin Murray
Amir Khan
Tyson Fury
Luke Campbell
Anthony Ogogo
Hughie Fury
Prince Patel

I've missed out some but some genuine stand out fighters from that list. This could definitely be considered a golden age for UK fighters and the media coverage like IFL TV all adds to the buzz

I agree. Scott Quigg and Jamie McDonell are not world champions, you have to draw the line somewhere or these organizations will keep giving out belts.

Note to all boxers, there's already four belts, don't go cheap and go for a 'regular' version of one of four. Boycott, it's an insult to boxers.

Congratulations to the United Kingdom
