Infobox

An article should ideally begin with {{infobox boxer}}. Alternatively, {{infobox martial artist}} can be used if a boxer has competed at least once in MMA or kickboxing, or if their amateur boxing record is reliably sourced, but this should not replace {{infobox boxer}} without discussion at the article talk page.

name

• The name by which a boxer is best known within mainstream English-language media, excluding middle names in most cases.
• Per WP:COMMONNAME, check whether or not middle names should be used: Marco Antonio Barrera or Julio César Chávez, but not Marcos René Maidana or Sergio Gabriel Martínez.

image

• Use an image if available (check Commons), in accordance with Wikipedia's image policies.
• For images containing large amounts of lightness or completely white space, use {{!}}border at the end of the filename extension: Filename.jpg{{!}}border

caption

• Last name only, and year if known: Holmes in 1997 or Foreman at [event], 2011. For sentence fragments, do not use a closing period, per WP:CAPFRAG.
• If the image includes an opponent, use only the opponent's last name and pipe-link if possible: Frazier (left), vs. [[Muhammad Ali|Ali]], 1974

realname

• Full name, including middle or other names, but leave blank if it is the same as that of the name field. Consider using {{nowrap}} if the name slightly exceeds the width of the infobox.

nicknames

• List any verifiable nicknames, separated using {{plainlist}} rather than line breaks (<br> or <br />).
• For non-English nicknames, use italics, and if possible, provide a translation using quotes within brackets: El Flaco Explosivo<br>("The Explosive Thin Man"). Line breaks can be used in this instance, rather than a separate bullet.

weight

• List all weight classes in which they have notably competed, separated using {{plainlist}} and starting with the lightest first.
• If they have only competed a few times at a certain weight, with neither a major nor minor title at stake, do not include it. If at least a minor title was at stake for one fight, include that weight class.
• The various boxing sanctioning bodies each have their own naming format for weight classes, but Wikipedia's own article titles should be used in this field. For more on this usage, including formatting details such as case and hyphenation, see the Lead section below.
• The actual weight figure in brackets should not be included: Bantamweight (118 lbs)

height

• This field autoconverts the figure without the need for conversion templates: 5 ft 11 in or 1.80 m, depending on regional unit preference. If their height is disputed, BoxRec is usually a sufficient source, but a tale of the tape from recent fights (always specify the network) may be better: Showtime Championship Boxing tale of the tape prior to the Opponent fight.

reach

• Same as above, except use inches instead of feet and centimetres instead of metres: 182 cm or 71+1/2 in. The latter results in "71½ in".

nationality

• Their current citizenship or nationality. Do not link to commonly known nationalities such as American, Russian, British, Mexican, Canadian, Australian, German, etc., per WP:OVERLINK.
• For less commonly known nationalities, linking may be used: [[United States Virgin Islands|U.S. Virgin Islander]], [[Guinea]]n, [[Suriname]]se, [[Myanmar|Myanma]].
• Nationalities in which the spelling changes accordingly may also be linked: [[Philippines|Filipino]].
• Do not link to articles about ethnicity, such as [[Filipinos|Filipino]] or [[Nigerians|Nigerian]], per WP:INFONAT.
• Flag icons must not be used, per WP:INFOBOXFLAG.
• Separate multiple nationalities with {{plainlist}}.

birth_name

• If they have legally changed their name from their birth name to their current one.

birth_date

• Include either {{birth date and age}} or {{birth date}}. To force DMY format, use df=y.

birth_place

• Reasonable detail can be used here: boroughs, city, county, region, state/province, and country (including former country names, in the case of boxers born in the Soviet Union or East Germany).

style

• Use either [[Orthodox stance|Orthodox]] or [[Southpaw stance|Southpaw]], but not specialised techniques such as [[Switch hitter]] or [[Peek-a-Boo (boxing style)|Peek-a-boo]]; the latter are not stances.

losses

• Include a "0" even if they are undefeated.

draws

• Leave blank if they have not had any draws, as the total/wins/losses fields render this one redundant. Remove the field entirely if they have retired with no draws.

no contests

• Also leave blank if they have none, and remove the field entirely if they have retired without any no contests.

medaltemplates

• If they have won medals at notable amateur events, include {{medal}} on a new line below the field.
• Note that flag icons should be used in this field only, as amateur boxers explicitly represent nationalities or national teams.
• Remove the field entirely if they never won any medals.
• For brevity, shorten World Amateur Boxing Championships to World Championships, and European Amateur Boxing Championships to European Championships.
