Code of Massachusetts Regulations
523 CMR - STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION (FORMERLY, STATE BOXING COMMISSION)
Title 523 CMR 22.00 - State Championship Program
Section 22.15 - Mandatory Challengers

Universal Citation: 523 MA Code of Regs 523.22
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

The Commission may identify a combatant as a mandatory challenger within a weight class. In order to be identified as a mandatory challenger, the combatant must either be ranked number two in the weight class, have won an elimination bout between top contenders from within the weight class, or designated as such pursuant to 523 CMR. If a mandatory challenger is identified in a weight class, the champion must fight that individual within nine months in order to maintain the title. Failure of the champion to do so shall be cause for the Commission to strip the champion of the title. In such a case, a new champion shall be determined consistent with 523 CMR 22.10. Failure of a mandatory challenger to accept a fight with the champion within nine months of being so named will result in that individual being stripped of the designation and being lowered in the rankings.
