Needs improvement
As an outsider to the boxing wikiproject, having just reviewed an article using this infobox for GA status I believe this template needs some work done on it. The intention of the infobox is to provide a summary of facts about the fight. It should give the outcome, location it was held, attendance, officials/judges and possibly things like scorecards, ring announcer and TV network. Something like Template:Infobox SuperBowl.

Reach
Reach is typically given in Tale of the Tape and is missing. Should be added (inches). Damon Mah (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- I second this request—it should go below weight. I would try adding it myself, but I once broke this template by making a small edit. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 11:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Damn skippy. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:49, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Centred image
The poster image is never centred, and looks jarring. Any idea on how to centre it? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- Never mind. Adding [[|center]] to the filename did the job. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Tale of the tape
Please add an explanation about "Tale of the tape/ --5.170.1.201 (talk) 00:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)"

Fighter ages
In looking at the upcoming Tyson-Jones fight box, the fighters ages would have been informative. Not sure if changing this infobox is allowed or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.25.58.172 (talk) 02:36, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
RfC about fighter age
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Should the age of each fighter be added in the infobox, in the typical style |age1=|age2= ? -The Gnome (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support. Age is a significant factor in boxing matches, as in most professional or amateur sports duels. The infobox already contains information about weight and height. Material supporting the significance of a fighter's age are plentiful both offline and online, a small sample of which is provided in the reference section. The routine mentions of fighters' age in boxing repors are simply too numerous.[1][2][3][4][5] -The Gnome (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support. Per The Gnome's comment above. --Tbf69 15:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Support based on tales of the tape seen on TV broadcasts. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
