    uk boxing is in a great place right now....

    some of the best fighters in the sport such as anthony joshua, tyson fury,josh warrington, callum smith, billie joe saunders and some great prospects coming through the system like daniel dubois, josh kelly , joe joyce, anthony yarde and joshua buatsi. add to that solid fighters like kell brook, chris eubank jr, luke campbell and dillain whyte. long may it continue.

          True, but I think the UK scene has another problem. All the champions and talents want to fight in the US, because why fight in the UK for less money when you can just get DAZN money in the US (or in the case of warren ESPN money).

          Callum smith, joshua, fury, khan, crolla and brook are fighting in the states next. I imagine framptom is also going to face valdez on espn this year.

          Looking at the cards in the UK from matchroom and warren, most are headlined by domestic level fighters and are building up prospects.

            Boxing started in England and the people in the UK love to fight so of course you have your share of good boxers. It's expected.

              For the actual boxers, Britain is the place to box 'In terms of support and just how oversea's fighters are treated'

              But in terms of business? It seems like America once again is starting to take over. But that is only because EUROPEAN fighters want to fight there, they could do easily not fight there.

                Why didn't you include Ohara Davies or Conor Benn?

                  failed to include arguiably the best british boxer in Josh Taylor, must still be upset after he made a thread claiming Ohara would easily knock him out.

                    Quit trashing the USA all the time you USA hating fool. The USA has just as many good fights for the size of the country as the UK does and the UK has just as many boxers avoiding good competition. What good boxer has Saunders fought in years? How about Brook. Fury passed on a rematch with Wilder to fight some unknown guy.
