The first world title belt was awarded to heavyweight champion [[Jack Dempsey]] and the second was awarded to flyweight champion [[Pancho Villa]]. The magazine stopped giving belts to world champions in the 1990s, but began again in 2002 when it launched its new championship policy intended to reward fighters who, by satisfying rigid criteria, can justify a claim as the true and only world champion in a given weight class.

			World champions as selected by [[The Ring Magazine]]. The Ring is a boxing magazine that was founded and began awarding championship belts in 1922. The Ring has its own version of the lineal championship in a given weight class. The first Ring world title belt was awarded to heavyweight champion [[Jack Dempsey]] and the second was awarded to flyweight champion [[Pancho Villa]]. The Ring stopped giving belts to world champions in the 1990s, but began again in 2002.

			Championship vacancies can be filled in the following two ways: 1. THE RING’s Nos. 1 and 2 contenders fight one another. 2. If the Nos. 1 and 2 contenders chose not to fight one another and either of them fights No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5, the winner may be awarded THE RING belt if the Editorial Board deems the contenders worthy.

			Here are the seven situations in which a champion can lose his belt: 1. The Champion loses a fight in the weight class in which he is champion. 2. The Champion moves to another weight class. 3. The Champion does not schedule a fight in any weight class for 18 months. 4. The Champion does not schedule a fight at his championship weight for 18 months (even if he fights at another weight). 5. The Champion does not schedule a fight with a Top-5 contender from any weight class for two years. 6. The Champion retires. 7. The Champion tests positive for a banned substance.
