Since 2012, to reduce the number of vacant titles, ''The Ring'' allows fights between a number one or two contender; or alternatively a number three, four, or five contender to fill a vacant title. This has prompted further doubts about its credibility. Some boxing journalists have been extremely critical of the new championship policy and state that if this new policy is followed, the ''Ring'' title may lose the credibility it once held.
