Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight Champion

Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight Champion

"The Ring Magazine" Light Heavyweight belt is issued by "Ring Magazine" to the top man in the division. The holder of a "Ring Magazine" belt is usually considered the undisputed world champion. Unlike the numerous alphabet belts (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO etc) the Ring does not strip its champions of their belts or declare interim champions.

The Ring belt is popular because it is considered the one true belt of the real world champion. It was created to try to bring the good old days of boxing back to the golden era when there was just one world champion per division. Ring Champions only lose their title if they lose it in a match, retire or change weight division.

The current "Ring Magazine" Light Heavyweight champion of the world is Joe Calzaghe. He won on 19 April 2008 from Bernard Hopkins.
