Not an answer to your question, but as oldfashioned as I am, I don't see Wilder as a champion (yet). There can only be one per division, and he's got to beat Fury first before calling himself a champ (I believe he has a good chance succeeding).

(And the reason why I don't answer your question about voluntary defences is because I don't know the answer )

Do you mean mandatory defenses?

I guess that all champions, untill the days of alphabet organizations, made only volontary defenses. The first alphabet organization was NBA (later WBA) which started in 1921. I dont know when they started to designate mandatories, but info on the history of the alphabet boys can be found in this thread I made several years ago:
