@Tony, I agree mate. hes fighting in the US soon for a world title (against a thai i believe), think he also holds a WMC title but not sure which one?
***Title Guidelines***
The UKMF takes both its titles and their subsequent defences very solemnly, we want them to be of worth and active so these rules or guidelines have been brought in over the last couple of months:
A fighter may decline a defense no more than 3 times before he must vacate it in favour of 2 suitable boxers.
The boxer who vacated the title may challenge the winner of the subsequent bout should he wish.
Should a boxer lose 3 fights in succession to domestically ranked boxers he must vacate his title.
A boxer must defend his title if challenged and may only decline for good reason. However; it is right they have the opportunity to decline 3 documented times before the governing body intervenes.
This IMO is not about stripping fighters of titles won but actually enhancing the standing that holding one of them brings. People often say its not the title but who you beat for it, or your not a champion until you have defended but how many mickey mouse title fights are on shows every weekend?!
I took on this role to make a difference rather than moan on the sidelines, i have had 4 title fights put to me this week and 2 i have advised should not go ahead as the fighters are not of the right standing. I looke at the record, the ranking position and who they have fought and BEATEN.
Im interested in peoples positive thoughts, as i have said all through this thread it would be a shame if it went down the pan like most seem to do on here lately!
