Title should be Jem Belcher[edit]

The title of this article should surely be Jem Belcher, given that this was what he was universally known as in all of the contemporary sources. Axad12 (talk) 17:28, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed reference to Belcher vs Jones being for the middleweight championship[edit]

I removed a reference to Belcher vs Paddington Jones 1799 having been for the middleweight championship of England. Weight-based classification and titles did not exist at the time that these two fighters were boxing. For further details see the discussion on the Wikipedia page for Paddington Jones.
