Wikimedia subject-area collaboration
This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!
In 2016, an all-encompassing Manual of Style for boxing articles was completed, and can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing/MOSGuidelines. It has been designed with other similar style guides in mind, particularly mixed martial arts, albeit with many differences.
If you would like to participate, you can simply start by editing any boxing article, or join the project below and/or contribute to the discussion on the talk page.
If you find an article without an image, please list it at Requested pictures.
If you find, create, or contribute to a boxing article, please paste {{WikiProjectBoxing}} onto the article's talk page and add a Wikilink to the page on Boxing.
If you find a stub article that has not yet been marked as a stub, add {{boxing-stub}} to the bottom of the article. It will automatically be included in the boxing stubs category, where you can find plenty of stub articles to expand if you are itching to do something.
Add |needs-infobox=yes and |attention=yes tags to the project template as needed.
Goals:
To standardize boxing articles in Wikipedia, in accordance with MOS:BOXING.
To improve Wikipedia coverage of boxing by adding, expanding and improving boxing articles.
To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia boxing articles.
This list was generated from these rules. Questions and feedback are always welcome! The search is being run daily with the most recent ~14 days of results. Note: Some articles may not be relevant to this project.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:WikiProject Boxing articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

Davemcarlson (talk) 08:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC) Working to accumulate information about historical pound-for-pound rankings and either compiling it as a list on a page (list of Ring Magazine #1 Pound-for-Pound boxers) or as a box at the bottom (like the ones for the world champions) listing the time that a fighter was listed as #1 pound-for-pound and who the previous and next #1's were. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please comment on my talk page if you have experience with this.

Novis-M (talk) 11:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC) - I do boxing and am a big fan of the sport. I have edited several boxing-related articles and now I would like to focus on the heavyweight and super middleweight divisions, weight class articles, and amateur and Olympic boxing. There will be a lot of work in it, especially when AIBA started World Series of Boxing and is planning to start brand new AIBA pro boxing. There is a lot of confusion about it and the articles often don't meet Wikipedia standards. I will appreciate any help I can get from fellow users.
