I think Roche should be categorized as a British boxer, simply because he's never boxed in the Republic of Ireland, despite being from there (as of 3/24/07, he's got 30 bouts in England and 1 each in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Italy). His hometown is listed on boxrec as being Leeds, implying he has resettled in the UK. --Tthaas 21:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Plenty of boxers never fought in their home country - location of their base mean nothing. He's an Irish boxer and considered himself an Irish boxers - thats pretty much the end of it really.--Vintagekits 22:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah the Irish Post article confirms he's Irish, however, Boxrec, which is a very very good source and the basis of most/many boxing articles on wiki needs to be treated with caution over its nationality field as they have a strange/unusual method for inputting that particular piece of information.--Vintagekits 10:08, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
