Since 1916,,,,,,,every Heavyweight Champion who walked into the ring had his title on the line. Except once, when it was a Non-Title fight,,,,,,,,,,Who and Where?
i'm pretty sure this isn't the answer but roy jones was the reigning wba champ when he moved back down in weight to fight antonio tarver and the wba belt was not on the line.
Francesco Damiani beat Tony Morrison and Everett Martin in back to back non-title bouts. He was the WBO Heavyweight Champion at the time.
It was held in Las Vegas,,,,,,,, something that came into the ring, was also present at another famous Heavyweight fight.
:good:good:good hhascup,,,,,,,,You win everthing behind Door #1 The WBC and Nevada State Boxing Commision would not sanction the 15-Round bout. It was a 15-Round Non-Title bout. Marvis Fraziers boxing trunks,,,,,,,,,last worn at 'The Fight of the Century' Johnny Olsen,,,,,,,,,tell Mr. hhascup what he has won!!!!
Historically, whenever the Hvywt Champ entered the ring, the title was on the line. "I can whip anyone in the house".
