Up-to-date list of every present word titleholder in boxing
There are 17 weight classes in professional boxing (excluding the creation of WBC's new bridgerweight class), and five world governing bodies for each of those different divisions: The WBC (World Boxing Council); WBA (World Boxing Association); IBF (International Boxing Federation); WBO (World Boxing Organization); and IBO (International Boxing Organization), all carrying different levels of prestige and history.
