It means that the heavyweight championship is the most important and has the most "on the line". The "stakes" of something is basically how much money or honor/fame is dependent on the outcome.

Other reason

It means if someone is competing for the heavyweight championship that is the most important contest in their profession. They may not get another chance to win the heavyweight championship so the "stakes are high" meaning they have a lot to lose and a lot to gain depending on if they lose or win.

@silkgrass Basically the same thing as "having high stakes". If you win you gain a lot of money/fame/honor, if you lose you lose a lot of money/fame/honor
