<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lineal championship</span> Boxing championship

In combat sports where champions emerge through a challenge, the lineal championship in a weight class represents an intangible world title initially held by the victor in a pivotal bout between top contenders in the division, as commonly interpreted. Subsequently, it transitions to a fighter who defeats the reigning champion in a match within that weight class. An alternative, less mainstream perspective suggests that vacancies in divisional championships can only be filled by an undisputed champion. In professional boxing, the informal term for the lineal champion is "the man who beat the man."
