Line 327:
**If a boxer is ''based within'' the UK and Canada, two-word weight classes should be hyphenated: {{xt|super-middleweight}}.
*Weight classes are not proper nouns (see [[MOS:CAPS]] and [[MOS:TITLE]]), regardless of how the sanctioning bodies list them on their websites, therefore they must always be written in lower case: {{xt|super welterweight}}, not {{!xt|Super Welterweight}}.
**The same applies to the words "title", "champion[ship]", "world", "unified", "undisputed", and "interim"; use lower case only. For more on this usage, see [[MOS:ROLEBIO]] and [[MOS:JOBTITLES]].
**Exceptions include the in-house names of certain titles by sanctioning bodies: Continental, International, Inter-Continental, Silver, Super, Regular, Unified, Undisputed, Asia Pacific, Pan Pacific, Latino, Fedelatin, Junior, etc. The weight classes themselves must still be in lower case.
**[[Lineal championship]]s, and general use of the term "lineal", must be written in lower case and without italics: {{xt|lineal}}, not {{!xt|''Lineal''}}.
