    Anthony Joshua

    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

    Martin Murray's going to be the new WBO Super Middleweight Champ in about 6 weeks.

      After Floyd vacates all of his belts, the WBA Regular champion will be the only WBA champion on 8 of 17 weight classes.

          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.
          Jamie McDonnell was stripped of his IBF belt. So yes, he's a true champion. It was stripped unfairly.

              I think you can class Jamie Mac as a world champ. Won the IBF, stripped due to delays/promotor issues.
              Won the WBA reg and beat the wbo champ

                Good point. Without boxing politics, he would hold the WBA (Regular), IBF, and WBO bantamweight titles.

                    Why was he stripped of the title again

                      Something with him going for the WBA title unification and hence missing mandatory or something like that.
