Once every two years to crown a Undisputed Champion would basically means there's also at least half the weight divisions going through the tournament.

If a World Champion does not fulfill his Three defences a Year, they will be stripped of their World Title unless they provide Medical records/Written Notifcation of any Injuries or Family Bereavements that prevent them from fulfilling their required number of defences per year.

why even change the weight classes leave them be....
I would use more of universal naming of the weight classes and belts...
for example...
super welterweight = light middleweight
we know that but for someone who doesnt really follow boxing that would throw them off imo...
Also the belts have to remain at one belt per sanctioning body who is officially recognized by the ibhof.....
WBA
WBC
IBF
WBO
and then there's THE RING belt.......
imo what there needs to be is a universal boxing body to control those belt organizations (imo should be the ibhof that comes up with that)
must fight one mando per year if you only have ONE to two belts
must fight TWO mandos per year if you have more than 2 belts etc
NO STEP ASIDE FEES AT ALL!
and so on and so on.....
