About List of current world boxing champions in brief
There have been world champions in boxing since at least the late 19th century. The first of the current organizations to award a world title was the World Boxing Association in 1921. There are now four major sanctioning bodies in professional boxing. Manny Pacquiao has won world championships in eight weight divisions. The Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, held all four major titles in the heavyweight division from 2011 to 2013. Joe Louis holds the record of being the longest reigning world champion in boxing. The WBA and WBC have often changed the status of their inactive champions to a \”Champion in Recess\” or \”Ch Champion Emeritus\”.
The WBC established many of today’s safety measures in boxing, such as the standing eight count, a limit of 12 rounds instead of 15, and additional weight divisions, including the WBO’s ‘Super Champion’ and ‘Supreme Champion’ titles. The Ring magazine began awarding world titles in 1922. The original title sequence began from the first publication in the 1920s until 2007, when it was acquired by Cyber Boxing Zone. In 2007, the owners of the Ring acquired the name ‘Cyber Boxing Zone’ instead of ‘The Ring’
