1000 days – The myth surrounding the Dillian Whyte Mandatory position

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 by David Corner

Dillian Whyte - The mandatory position, in its most basic form, is there to prevent challengers from being avoided by the champions. Like everything else in boxing though, nothing is basic. The governing bodies all have slightly different rules when it comes to mandatories, but the premise is this. The champion must defend his belt against a nominated mandatory challenger within a time frame (usually twelve months) of the challenger being designated the mandatory position. To become mandatory a fighter must fill one of the following requirements, firstly they could win a title eliminator. Secondly, they could maintain a high enough ranking for a sustained length of time, then the governing body could assign them as a mandatory challenger. Another way is to unify a weight division, then upon changing weight divisions a fighter can find themself automatically assigned as the mandatory challenger in his new division. There a probably more, but the basic rule is, if you're good enough and beat enough highly ranked fighters you will get your chance.

New Ring Magazine Heavyweight Rankings – Do You Agree With Them?

June 15, 2020June 15, 2020 by James Slater

Dillian Whyte - For many fight fans it's still “The Bible of Boxing,” and it always will be. Ring Magazine, an institution since 1922, for many, THE publication to trust. Many fans turn to the Ring Magazine rankings page in an effort at finding out just who the best of the best really are. It's gotten way more confusing over the years, over the decades. It seems hard to imagine there was a time when there was just one champion per weight class (and a helluva lot less weight classes).
