For which title did Briggs compete in 1997?

  • Lineal world heavyweight title

  • Featherweight title

  • Welterweight title

  • Middleweight title

Answer

The lineal world heavyweight title is a title that is contested for when there is no clear undisputed world heavyweight champion. In 1997, there was no clear undisputed world heavyweight champion, so Briggs competed for the lineal title. He lost the fight to Lennox Lewis by a knockout in the eighth round.
