2023 WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF Boxing Champion List

In Boxing History, there are 4 major organizations like WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF that contest different championship matches. It is quite rare for a weight class to have a single undisputed champion.

Boxing Championships Insight:

Professional boxing has 17 different weight classes, and each weight class has five major boxing organizations that recognize champions: the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring.

The Ring title is unique as it is awarded by the American boxing magazine The Ring and has been done since 1922. Because of the mixture of belts and champions, it is rare for a weight class to have a single undisputed champion. Every year a list of boxing champions is released that currently hold different belts and championships.

To maximize their chances of success, boxers often fight across weight classes. Manny Pacquiao is currently the only fighter to have won titles in eight different divisions. Winning a title in a new weight class often increases a boxer's visibility, status, and earning potential.

Because there are multiple belts and champions within each weight class, fans and boxing enthusiasts often debate who the true champion is. The lack of a single, undisputed champion has led to increased interest in unification fights, where the champions of different organizations fight to determine who the true champion is. Following is the list of Boxing champions in different competitions and championships.
