Comprehensive List of Current World Boxing Champions by Weight Class

In the world of professional boxing, the competition is fierce across various weight classes, each governed by multiple prestigious organizations. Currently, there are 17 recognized weight classes, and five major sanctioning bodies: the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), International Boxing Federation (IBF), World Boxing Organization (WBO), and The Ring magazine, which has been awarding its title since 1922.

Understanding the Championship Landscape

The presence of multiple belts in each weight class often leads to a fragmented championship landscape. It is relatively uncommon for a single fighter to hold all championships within a division simultaneously, known as being an undisputed champion. Legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao holds the unique distinction of being the only fighter to have claimed titles in eight different weight divisions.
