    It's a big purist thing here but unfortunately is still slowly fading out in the sense that people dont want the 5 wins.. they usually win it and progress to "world" scene within 2 fights so are dropping it because the fights arent being mandated by the BBBofC who oversee the lonsdale belt.

    LOOOL dont say that in the UK. it might be prestigous as belts go in the UK to a boxing degree, but if you were lonsdale clothes in the UK you are one skanky chavvy motherfu**er.

    Its like... poor people clothes.
    4 wins, win the belt and then defend it 3 times and you keep it

      Hahah really? Damn, in USA I like wearing them cause nobody else rocks it, and I hate looking like every other dips hit in the gym.

      I just like the designs, logo (the lion), etc.

        My understanding was win it, then defend it 4 times, two of which had to be mandatories to be allowed to keep it outright.

        May be wrong but meh..

          Yeah lonsdale went through a big phase like... 10 years ago or so and so did tapout like 5 years ago.

          Now its synonymous with a big retail discount clothing store called sportsdirect where t shirts and tracksuit bottoms are like £3 pounds.

            Lol yeah I never got into the whole "tap-out, affliction" gear. That's pretty much always been associated with white-trash/poser MMA fighters in USA.

            I like just basic designs with minimal logos.

            And I love animal shirts lol, so of course the Lion looks cool.

              No Way, he is just warming up to fight a top flight contender from Georgia. Look at these monsters.

                This.

                Loeffler has all but said GGG will be fighting BJS in June. It seems like one of the worst kept secrets in boxing right now. My assumption is its signed already or all the details are agreed upon & will be signed next week...assuming GGG beats Jacobs off course.

                    If he's not in the ring by June, it's time to strip that arse. One defense in 15 months is a disgrace.

                      Warren has hinted that it'll be announced immediately after GGG beats Jacobs, if he beats Jacobs. He and Saunders will be ringside I believe
