Back in the 1960's and 1970's Certain Champions Defended their Titles on a Regular Basis!
Prime Examples were JIM BREAKS-a 10 Time BRITISH LIGHTWEIGHT Champion and
STEVE GREY-a 7 Time Title Holder at the Same Weight!!
But Other MOUNTEVANS Champions Defended their Belts much less Frequently and One of
these was ZOLTAN BOSCIK!!
ZOLLY Won the LIGHTWEIGHT Title from JIM BREAKS in JUNE 1969 at SHEFFIELD-in a bit
of a 'Turn-Up' for the Books!-But BOSCIK Proved he was no 'Lucky Flash in the Pan' by going on
to keep this Title for almost 2 Years!!....
Until he was 'Relieved' of the Belt by JOHNNY SAINT at the Same Venue of his Initial Victory...
SHEFFIELD CITY HALL!!-SAINT only held this Title for 3 Months or so before BREAKS Reclaimed
it!!
Below the Cracking Bill when ZOLLY Lost his LIGHTWEIGHT Championship!!

The North South divide wasn't a workers decision ,the promoters positively encouraged this, machevelian doesn't cover it.The shrewd workers saw through it ,hence Dempsey much preferring Dale Martin.
Tell us about Joe Kelliher. Where does he pop up?

By 1990 nothing really mattered. Breaks wanted his 30 year+ heritage.
In 1968, however, dangerous to look at single titles. All the loewer weight toitles shuffled around, everyone got a look in, even Pallo.
Breaks was probably relinquishing a British title to obtain a European.
What matters is how much they trusted each other. I have gone from thinking Breaks didn't trust Boscik to deciding, 24 hours later, that they were bosom buddies.
Oh, so he didn’t avoid Breaks at European title level.
Isn‘t it funny. In a business where it was all a work, we can often detect little signs of ego. Breaks would probably oblige Saint or Ryan, but not a Southerner like Boscik or Cortez
Assuming it was the wrestlers deciding rather than the promoter.
Looks to me as though they gave Breaks the European and Zoltan the British Title. I remember their Belle Vue bouts as Epics
Zoltan Boscik, remembered for his famous three in one hold,
Nice research.
Sounds like Breaks didn't fancy going down to Zollie so they just avoided the bout.
