Now I know he's a true champion of the sport.

You are correct sir. Quite a mystery how somone from Belfast can box for a British title given N. Ireland not part of Britain

Because when you say ‘British title’ you are referring to the BBBC national title

The BBBC covers all of the UK, so it’s the UK title really

Also any UK citizen is referred to as a British citizen, no matter which part. The geographic distinction and the political one are a bit different

How can a Irishman fight for the British Bantam Title? Ryan Burnett did. You guys are too much, first you all said Josh Taylor is not Irish, now you say Ryan Burnett is not a Englishman.

Judging by the fact that this is your first post, I think you are trolling me.

You can fight for a British title if you are licensed by the BBBofC (British Boxing Board of Control).

BBBofCis a governing body of professional boxing in the UK

Although Ryan is Irish and Josh is Scottish, they are both from United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales)

Just like Paulie Malignaggi fought for a European Title back in 2015, obviously he is not from Europe, since he is a US citizen.

I'm not from the UK or any of the other countries in the UK so I don't really give two *****$ , but just to give you an example since he is the first guy that popped into my head since I used to follow his career.

Not sure about those, but I think they are more lower level titles for regions and to motivate boxers to at least fight for a title.

Malignaggi has an Italian passport and lived in Italy for a bit during his youth.
