	In 1958, [[Stanley Weston]] took it upon himself to establish a boxing magazine that he hoped would bridge the gap between the fighters and the fans. He soon assumed the roles as both Publisher and Editor-in-Chief after the editorial tenure of Eddie Borden. To appease the fight fans in general, the magazine was devoted to boxing and wrestling, thus the original title, ''Boxing Illustrated-Wrestling News''.

	Abe Glick took over in 1965 and clearly intended to use the magazine as a forum to expose and hopefully suppress the ills of boxing. Two years later, with boxing and the nation in turmoil, the magazine's readers voted out the wrestling section, wanting the entire issue devoted to boxing. It became ''Boxing ~~Ilustrated~~-~~Rinside~~ News'' then, in 1970 simply ''Boxing Illustrated'', a title the publication maintained for the next 26 years.
