Here are some of the fighters who have fought for top titles and, in most cases, had their hands lifted in triumph by the referee.
In all cases, they have put the coast on the map with their bold endeavours inside the ring.
We hope your favourites are here.
5. Brian London
Brian London was another prominent character in Blackpool for many years, who put the town on the boxing map. He competed from 1955 to 1970 and held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight title from 1958 to 1959. London twice challenged for the world heavyweight title, taking on champions who would become boxing legends. He lost to Floyd Patterson in 1959 and Muhammad Ali in 1966, both times via knockout. Along with Henry Cooper, Joe Erskine, and Dick Richardson, he was a dominant figure on the British boxing scene throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Photo: Third party
6. Jane Couch
Jane Couch MBE put not only her native Fleetwood and the Fylde coast on the map but British women's boxing, when she scored a knock out win again the British Boxing Board of Control when they tried to prevent her getting a professional licence. And the Fleetwood Assassin proved that it was all worth it by winning five world titles, after becoming the UK's first professional women's boxer. Competing from 1994 to 2007, her first major success came in only her fifth pro fight in 1996, when she won the WIBF light welterweight title by outpointing France's Sandra Geiger over ten rounds in Copenhagen, Denmark. She was awarded the MBE for her achievements. Photo: BEG
