Boxers strive to become champions, but only few become undisputed. What does it mean to be the undisputed champion in boxing? As of 2007, boxing has four major sanctioning bodies:
▪︎ World Boxing Association (WBA)
▪︎ World Boxing Council (WBC)
▪︎ International Boxing Federation (IBF)
▪︎ World Boxing Organization (WBO)
In order for a boxer to be considered the undisputed champion in his or her division, they must be in possession of each body’s world title belt simultaneously.
