Triple Crown of Boxing

Triple Crown is also referred to any fighter that perform one or both extraordinary feat in Boxing:
# Different Divisions- A champion that can form part of the selected Triple Champion Club. See the List of boxing triple champions, or, when winning at least three belts in three different multiple weights. Example: Mike McCallum who won the Light middleweight title, the Middleweight belt and the Light heavyweight strap.
# Same Division- When winning at least three titles at the same weight division. Example: Pernell Whitaker won the unified crown of the Lightweight division when adding the WBC and the WBA titles to his already captured IBF belt. In other words, Whitaker was a Triple Champion in the Lightweight division alone, a single weight category. Another example: Evander Holyfield who never was a triple champion in three different weight divisions but was a triple champion in a single division when he added the WBA and the WBC belt to his IBF Cruiserweight crown.

* The term has been used in Boxing to acknowledge an individual who has won Major Boxing titles or Minor Boxing titles in three or more different Boxing weight classes or divisions.
