To keep the Lonsdale Belt, a boxer must make three successful title defenses in their weight class. Once a boxer achieves this, they are allowed to keep the belt permanently. This rule applies to the British Boxing Board of Control's championship belts.

When a champion boxer wins again does he get another belt?

Yes. Ricco Rodriguez tried to sell his belt from beating Randy Couture for the HWT championship recently on Ebay. == Although in the older days they use to keep there belt, now you have to win and defend the belt once to get a belt given to you. To my knowledge they have one belt in curculation that you, the champ, holds while youre the champ, and one you get to keep if you defend it once. -Joel


What is the history of the Lonsdale Belt?

The Lonsdale Belt was a boxing prize introduced by Hugh Lowther, 5th Earl of Lonsdale, to be awarded to British boxing champions. It is still awarded to British champions today.Lord Lonsdale organised boxing matches and was the first president of the National Sporting Club. In 1909, he introduced the Lonsdale Belt as a new trophy for the British champion at each weight division. The belts were crafted from porcelain and twenty-two carat gold and were only to be held by a fighter as long as he was British champion. However, a British champion was allowed to keep his Lonsdale Belt if he defended his title successfully two times. Later belts were made from nine carat gold rather than twenty-two carats as the first ones were. A total of 22 Lonsdale belts were issued by the National Sporting Club, and of these 20 were won outright. The holders of the first Lonsdale belts were:- * Flyweight - Sid Smith, 1911 * Bantamweight - Digger Stanley, 1910 (retained) * Featherweight - Jim Driscoll, 1910 (retained) * Lightweight - Freddie Welsh, 1909 (retained) * Welterweight - Young Joseph, 1910 * Middleweight - Tom Thomas, 1909 * Light-heavyweight - Dick Smith, 1914 (retained) * Heavyweight - Bombardier Billy Wells, 1911 (retained) The three above belts that were not retained by the holders were eventually held and retained by Jimmy Wilde (flyweight), Johnny Basham (welterweight) and Pat O'Keefe (middleweight).

Can i have a female boxer dog and a male boxer dog and have puppies and i keep them Can i keep the puppies but not sell them obviously just raise them and if i don't neuter them will they try to mate?

As long as your female boxer dog and male boxer dog are not related, you can allow them to mate and have puppies. It is up to you if you want to sell the puppies or just raise them yourself. If you do not neuter the puppies they will try to mate, but since they will be brother and sister it isn't recommended that you allow them to mate.
