'''WikiProject Boxing''' is a WikiProject which aspires to comprehensively cover and standardize articles involving anything related to the sport of [[boxing]].

== Scope ==
This Wikiproject aims to describe a template for new articles about boxing, both [[amateur boxing|amateur]] and [[professional boxing|professional]], and to unify currently existing articles.
{{clear}}{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing/Sidebar}}

== Manual of Style (MoS) ==
In 2016, an all-encompassing Manual of Style for boxing articles was completed, and can be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing/MOSGuidelines]]. It has been designed with other similar style guides in mind, particularly [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts#Articles about mixed martial artists|mixed martial arts]], albeit with many differences.

==Activities in progress==
{{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|banner=WikiProjectBoxing}}
*If you would like to participate, you can simply start by editing any boxing article, or join the project below and/or contribute to the discussion on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing|talk page]].
*If you find an article without an image, please list it at [[Wikipedia:Requested_pictures#Sport|Requested pictures]].
*If you are looking for something to do, you can take a look at [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/sports#Boxing|Requested boxing articles]], [[:Category:Boxing articles needing attention]] and [[:Category:Boxing articles needing infoboxes]].
*Cleanup
*Assess
'''Useful tags:'''
*If you find, create, or contribute to a boxing article, please paste '''{{tl|WikiProjectBoxing}}''' onto the article's talk page and add a Wikilink to the page on [[Boxing]].
*If you find a [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub article]] that has not yet been marked as a stub, add {{tl|boxing-stub}} to the bottom of the article. It will automatically be included in the [[:Category:Boxing stubs|boxing stubs category]], where you can find plenty of stub articles to expand if you are itching to do something.
*Add <code>|needs-infobox=yes and |attention=yes</code> tags to the project template as needed.

'''Goals:'''
*To standardize boxing articles in Wikipedia, in accordance with [[MOS:BOXING]].
*To improve Wikipedia coverage of boxing by adding, expanding and improving boxing articles.
*To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia boxing articles.
*Place all eligible boxers in <nowiki>[[Category:World</nowiki> ''[insert weight class here]'' boxing champions]].
*Complete [[Boxing in the 1990s]], and [[Boxing in the 2000s]]
*Find ways to link to orphans and near-orphans (e.g. [[Puerto Rican-Mexican boxing rivalry]], [[club fighter]]).
*Many boxing articles need [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citations]].

There will be a lot of work in it, especially when [[International Boxing Association|AIBA]] started [[World Series of Boxing]] and is planning to start brand new [http://www.aiba.org/en-US/APBintro.aspx AIBA pro boxing]. There is a lot of confusion about it and the articles often don't meet Wikipedia standards. I will appreciate any help I can get from fellow users.
