The Ring (often called Ring Magazine) is an American boxing  magazine  that was first published in 1922 as a boxing and wrestling magazine. As the sporting legitimacy of professional wrestling came more into question, The Ring shifted to becoming exclusively a boxing oriented publication. The magazine is currently owned by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Enterprises. In 2002, The Ring attempted to clear up the confusion regarding world champions by creating a championship policy. It echoed many critics’ arguments that the sanctioning bodies in charge of boxing championships had undermined the sport by pitting undeserving contenders against undeserving “champions”, and forcing the boxing public to see mismatches for so-called “world championships”. The Ring attempts to be more authoritative and open than the sanctioning bodies’ rankings, with a page devoted to full explanations for ranking changes. A fighter pays no sanctioning fees to defend or fight for the title at stake, contrary to practices of the sanctioning bodies. Furthermore, a fighter cannot be stripped of the title unless he loses, decides to move to another weight division, or retires. Go to Dish business for boxing tv channels informations.

There are currently only two ways that a boxer can win The Ring’s title: defeat the reigning champion; or win a box-off between the magazine’s number-one and number-two rated contenders (or, sometimes, number-one and number-three rated). A vacant Ring championship is filled when the number-one contender in a weight-division battles the number-two contender or the number-three contender (in cases where The Ring determines that the number-two and number-three contenders are close in abilities and records). The Ring’s championship policy has gained the acceptance of outlets in North America such as ESPN and, to an extent, HBO; as well as being mentioned by the BBC in the United Kingdom.
