London, July 29.

So bad is the lack of challengers for Britain's boxing titles that serious consideration is being given in top circles of the sport to a proposal that fighters from the British Commonwealth be allowed to fight for titles in the Home country.

Official sources deny that this is so, but well informed boxing circles have been talking about the plan for some weeks as attendances continue to slip and British titles remain undefended because there is no one for the Cham- pions to defend them against.
