- - Ring was essentially the defacto ruling body passing their Ring Belt to worthy contenders that were almost always seen in the ethereal lineal light of leprechauns and faeries The Ring belt was hard, visible proof of The Man who beat The Man because of the veracity of two men, Tex Rickhard and Nat Fleischer who established the base format that carried on until Nat's death in the early 1970s before Ali beat Foreman. After that, nobody in the boxing publishing world had that magnificence of authority, and indeed the Ring shelved their Ring Belt for a time before the Oscar reorganization with Doogie at the helm where his select panel of writers set policy and conditions for the new Ring Belt.
One concerned the raging drug accusations such that any Ring fighter caught using drugs was ousted post haste. Another was when the Ring #2 can't or won't fight #1, then #3 shall suffice which is what happened when #1 AJ fought #3 Mighty Joe Parker, both undefeated with solid records. Ring refused to sanction that fight because they kept the drug busted and drug suspended Fury as their Ring Champion against all of their 2 most important rules.
We know that Fury became a mob fighter in 2017, so I suggest that "brown bagged" money transfer trail is quite long in that he carried 6 years worth of Ring titles without a singe defense nor fight while on a highly publicized drunken drug orgy. Then fights his way through the usual suspects until finalizing his trilogy with Wilder after both had ducked AJ several times, most notably during his ill begotten American Debut. Fat Andy who self identifies as Mexican even though born in America was the best fighter willing to step up after a half dozen higher Ring Ranked fighters turned AJ down, because like Fury, they were going after the low hanging ripe fruit of Wilder.
So Ring finally corrected a $$$ corrupted wrong some six years after the fact which is good for Usyk whose natural heavyweight record is actually considerably more accomplished than Vander both pro and amateur not that Usyk will ever get credit for whooping highly credentialed fighters bigger than most heavyweight champs in history.
