Needs improvement

As an outsider to the boxing wikiproject, having just reviewed an article using this infobox for GA status I believe this template needs some work done on it. The intention of the infobox is to provide a summary of facts about the fight. It should give the outcome, location it was held, attendance, officials/judges and possibly things like scorecards, ring announcer and TV network. Something like Template:Infobox SuperBowl.

Reach

Reach is typically given in Tale of the Tape and is missing. Should be added (inches). Damon Mah (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I second this request—it should go below weight. I would try adding it myself, but I once broke this template by making a small edit. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 11:35, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Damn skippy. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:49, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Centred image

~~The poster image is never centred, and looks jarring. Any idea on how to centre it? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2016 (UTC)~~[reply]

Never mind. Adding [[|center]] to the filename did the job. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:38, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tale of the tape

Please add an explanation about "Tale of the tape/ --5.170.1.201 (talk) 00:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)"[reply]

Indeed -- what does this mean? Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 13:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fighter ages

In looking at the upcoming Tyson-Jones fight box, the fighters ages would have been informative. Not sure if changing this infobox is allowed or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.25.58.172 (talk) 02:36, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RfC about fighter age

There is consensus to include age parameters in Template:Infobox boxing match. Looks like these were recently added in this edit, so should be all set for now. (Note: This closure was requested at WP:ANRFC.) Happy editing. –Novem Linguae (talk) 03:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should the age of each fighter be added in the infobox, in the typical style |age1=|age2= ? -The Gnome (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Age is a significant factor in boxing matches, as in most professional or amateur sports duels. The infobox already contains information about weight and height. Material supporting the significance of a fighter's age are plentiful both offline and online, a small sample of which is provided in the reference section. The routine mentions of fighters' age in boxing repors are simply too numerous.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] -The Gnome (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Per The Gnome's comment above. --Tbf69 15:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support based on tales of the tape seen on TV broadcasts. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:36, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
