    Do you consider Fitzsimmons the defending champ against Corbett?

    His fight with Maher was billed as world champion

    Indeed, and yet I’ve struggled to find any sources from his fight with Corbett which describe him as the defending champion.

    You won't find any claiming Corbett was defending champion against Sullivan neither.

    There's a decent split on Jeffries v Johnson as well tbf.
