Until 2020 it was customary for champions to box twice per semester. But since then, champions have drastically reduced their activity. To simplify, we will count from January 2020 and therefore in October 2022, the champions should have 6 fights or prepare their sixth for the end of the year. I will start from the highest category and go down. Fury: 3 fights (probably 4 at the end of the year) Joshua: 3 fights (probably 4 also in December) Usyk: 3 fights Wilder: 2 fights (soon 3) Briedis: 3 fights Okolie: 4 fights Bivol: 3 fights (soon 4) Beterbiev: 3 fights Canelo: 6 fights Benavidez: 4 fights Jacobs: 2 fights Golovkin: 3 fights Jermall Charlo: 2 fights Jermell Charlo: 3 fights Spence: 2 fights Crawford: 2 fights Taylor: 3 fights Haney: 4 fights (soon 5) Lomachenko: 3 fights (soon 4) Davis: 4 fights (a 5th in December?) Stevenson: 6 fights Akhmadaliev: 4 fights Fulton: 4 fights Inoue: 4 fights (soon 5 normally) Donaire: 4 fights Estrada: 3 fights (soon 4) Chocolatito: 4 fights (soon 5) In short, only two boxers (Canelo and Stevenson) have respected the usual quotas and even if we count 2020 as half a year, the majority of champions do not have 5 fights in three years.
