Line 781:

**Names in the ''Opponent'' column, in the case of rematches, are the only element which may be linked repeatedly.

*''Location'' and ''Notes'' should use the {{tl|small}} template, as they contain the largest amount of text compared to the other columns.

*For upcoming fights, use {{tl|N/A}} for ''Result'', ''Record'', ''Opponent'', and ''Type''.

**If the scheduled number of total rounds for an upcoming fight is known, use an en dash (–) and brackets in ''Round(s), time'': {{xt|– (12)}}.

;No.

*A boxer's total number of fights, in descending order (most recent on top).

;Result

*Use one of five different outcomes:

Line 798 ⟶ 796:

*Per [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing/Archive 9#RfC on flagicons in boxing record tables|this RfC]], no flag icons should be included in professional boxing record tables.

*Wiki-link only if an article exists; no [[WP:REDLINK|red linking]] unless an article is guaranteed to be made soon.

*If an upcoming opponent has yet to be named, use <code><nowiki>{{TableTBA}}</nowiki></code>

;Type

*Use one of the many different outcomes:

Line 857 ⟶ 854:

**"Retained..." – boxer successfully defended title(s).

**"Lost..." – boxer lost their title(s).

**"For..." – boxer will be fighting for, or lost an attempt at winning a title.

**"Defending..." – boxer will be defending their title.

**"... was/were at stake" – title(s) were on the line, but an NC rendered the result null and void.

*In most cases the contents of this column are sentence fragments, so there should be no periods in accordance with [[WP:BULLET]]. Semicolons should be used if line breaks (<nowiki><br></nowiki> or <nowiki><br /></nowiki>) are present.

Line 883 ⟶ 878:

**"Boxer disqualified for repeated holding"

**"Opponent disqualified for an intentional low blow"

***This also applies to no contests in which the result was later changed: {{xt|Originally a points TD win for FighterBoxer #1, later ruled an NC after they failed a drug test}}, or {{xt|Originally an SD, later ruled a UD after an incorrect judge's scorecard}}

***If a boxer is knocked out of the ring from ''legal'' punches, then that is still a TKO or KO under normal rules and does not need to be expanded upon.

***Normal stoppages (TKO or RTD) from cuts or injuries should not be mentioned; only if a TD occurs.
