One of the oldest combatsports in the world is boxing. It is a sport that requires padded gloves in the ring, and two boxers (people who contest boxing fights) attempting to hit each other.Boxing can be won by a variety of different means.One is a knockout when a fighter is caught and lies to the ground and cannot get up in 10 seconds.
Another way is by the technical knockout, where the fighter can’t stay in the battle so the referee ends it.Knockout methods and defeats also constitute boxer knockout wins or losses.The men’s fights last three minutes per round, while the women take two minutes.
Each boxing game has a different category, a different weight class. These are informal categories made in order for a boxer tocompete against another boxer of a similar size. Some athletes would also train hard to lose weight by diet and dehydration before weighing up to meet the appropriate weight class.

What is a lineal champion?
The greatest boxer in any weight class is a lineal champion. The linealchampionship stretches back to 1892 and the days of John L. Sullivan. The crown continues togo on until the linear champion is defeated, which is to say that when he defeated current holder Wladimir Klitschko, Fury became a linear champion.
The first way to beat the former titleholder is to become the linear winner.The linear champion is nicknamed “the man who beat the man” in professional boxing. Boxing fans were upset with any sanctioning body (WBC, WBA, IBF)to award different champions and, in particular, to deny a champion of the championship to fail to compete against his top-ranking champion.
Before the ’70s it was rare, but it was only for a brief time that one fighter beat the other, that the National Boxing Association and the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC). Many boxing analysts consider the linear championship to be a coveted place that goes beyond the international titles of the bodies.
