First, to stimulate interest and keep it high, the National Boxing Association has ruled (again) that cham- pions must defend each six months or loge the title; secondly, there has been discussion of changes in the rulings on fights which must be atopped due to cuts, and third, officials are again exploring the possibility of using protective headguards.
