The Ring has covered boxing since 1922 and awards its own championship to the lineal, top-ranked fighter in each division rather than through a sanctioning fee. Its annual awards, including Fighter of the Year, date back to 1928. The magazine is now closely tied to the Riyadh Season boxing cards.
Schedule
Ring championship fights and Ring-branded cards appear throughout the year, especially during Riyadh Season.
