Longest time for first defence?

[Rexob]

So what has been the longest time, before a boxer has been stripped without defending their belts after winning them?

Guillermo Jones was WBA champ for over 2 years before making his first defence

Ohh we could have another year of all this then

There have been Champions whi have went past 13-15 before making their 1st defense.

would you be surprised?

I'm going back a few years, but didn't it take Andre Ward well over a year to make another defense after he beat Dawson?

It felt like ages anyway...

It's gripping stuff.

Didn't Fitzsimmons take over two years to (unsuccesfully) defend his title?

Some guy called Muhammad Ali took 15 months to defend his title for the first time, also in a rematch against a guy he was not supposed to beat and he went on to have a decent enough career

Another guy Jack Dempsey took over 14 months to defend the first time.

Tyson is just shy of month 10.

Yes, I think this is a case of the "I want it now" culture in full flow, the fans are to blame, for being so impatient!
