Unlicensed fighting

I was flicking through YouTube this week, and noticed that Frank Warren was involved in something called the National Boxing Council, to stop bare knuckle fighting and make it legal.

Amongst all of the gypsy dross on YouTube I saw a few pro boxers that had their licenses rebuked by the BBBoC for differing reasons, and they had half decent records and could have gone on to make it in the pro ranks. jonny Waldron was one name.

My question is, what happened to all of the unlicensed fights these days?

Loads of unlicensed fights in the north east these days - they're perfectly legal.

An acquaintance/facebook friend/someone I've sparred with is a promoter and makes a good living out of it. I'm a fan - or amateur lads that want to fight beyond 35 (or are just not dedicated) - it's brilliant. Trenchtown baboon would do well (if he lost weight the fat Poopie!! haha!!)

check out Queensbury Boxing League http://www.queensburyboxing.co.uk/

think they call it Semi Pro boxing, they hold most of their shows in Surrey & they're shown on Eurosport

I know a couple of guys who have boxed for them, its all safe & controlled with paramedics at ringside & ambulance on standby like on pro shows, they hold trials at a gym in London where you can spar one of their guys & have fitness tests etc & if you get in you can work your way up the league

Some cracking fights, they've got a lot of fights on youtube
