I can see the reasons behind it. A wealthy western nation allows for a populous of larger human beings (heavyweight sized). It is boxing crazy and doesn't have the relative competition on the national level from sports that attract heavyweight sized athletes (basketball, American football) as seen in other western nations.

UK produce not only heavyweight but many boxers, it's maybe the best Country in the world for boxing, but they have to change something to maintain credibility.
Referees and judges cannot be of English nationality when an English boxer fights against a boxer from another country, they must be foreign.
