Current Women’s Boxing World Champions

Updated: Jul 4

There are many different titles available in women’s professional boxing, including regional, national, and continental. However, the pinnacle achievement of the sport is collecting the 5 major world titles: The WBA (World Boxing Association), WBC (World Boxing Council), IBF (International Boxing Federation), WBO (World Boxing Organisation), and The Ring. 


The 5 major belts are available across most of the 18 weight divisions. 4 of the belts are issued by professional boxing sanctioning bodies—WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF. Meanwhile “The Ring” magazine has awarded the fifth eponymous title since 1922.


Holding 2 to 4 of these belts in the same weight division makes a boxer a unified champion, whilst holding all 5 belts earns them the title of undisputed champion. However, not all the major belts are available across all weights due to a lack of competition. This is the case at light heavyweight, cruiserweight, and heavyweight, meaning a boxer could be undisputed with less than 5 belts in these divisions.


It’s also common to see boxers fight at different weights. Where boxers have titles in more than one division, they are known as a multi-weight champion, e.g. two-weight or three-weight World Champion.
