The International Boxing Union<\/strong> (IBU) was created June 1911 in Paris, France. It was an attempt to create a unified international governing body for professional boxing. Signators of the Protocol for the IBU were: Paul Rousseau (President of F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise de Boxe et de Lutte) for France; Fred Tilbury (an Englishman, Master of Boxing, and President of F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Belge de Boxe) for Belgium; and Victor Breyer (President of Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Fran\u00e7aise de Propagation de la Boxe Anglaise), having an official mandate by the New York State Athletic Commission<\/a>, and consequently acting on behalf of some American boxing authorities. Switzerland joined the IBU in November 1913.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBU suspended operations with the outbreak of World War I<\/a>, but resumed action on February 5, 1920\u2014this time headquartered in Paris. Eventually, by the end of 1942, the IBU was in the hands of the Nazis and Fascists, who transformed it into the \u201cAssociazione Pugilistica Professionistica Europea<\/a>\u201d (APPE). By December 1, 1944, the IBU\/APPE was dormant. In 1946, from the inactiveness of the APPE, several members left to form the European Boxing Union<\/a> (EBU) leaving the IBU\/APPE in limbo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1996, new life was breathed into the International Boxing Union<\/strong> (IBU) as it once again took its place as a professional boxing<\/a> sanctioning body but now based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States but maintaining its championship lineage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBU has sanctioned title matches and crowned \u201cworld champions\u201d in countries such as Barbados, Guyana, Benin, Gabon, Germany, Finland, Hungary, and the United States. In 2000 and 2001 the IBU had the \u201cESPN2 Fight of the Year\u201d and the Ring Magazine \u201cFight of the Year\u201d runnerup for 2000. While politics from the so called \u201cBig 4\u201d sanctioning bodies has at times stifled widespread recognition as its champions as best fighters in their class the IBU continues to strive and succeed. Many former IBU title holders have achieved huge success making thousands and sometimes millions of dollars after achieving their initial success with the IBU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The World Boxing Union (USA)<\/strong> is a professional boxing sanctioning body approaching its twentieth year in the business of sanctioning world championship fights, in it\u2019s original form and ownership, the WBU had a \u2018golden\u2019 period between 1995-2006 when its title contests were often shown live on satellite and terrestrial television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WBU has been immortalized in cinema history by the hit movie \u201cThe Fighter\u201d starring Mark Wahlberg. WBU titles were particularly well recognised in Europe and Africa. WBU titles have been held by the likes of Ricky Hatton, George Foreman, Thomas Hearns, Baby Jake Matlala, James Toney, Johnny Nelson and Micky Ward (in reality he was \u201cThe Fighter\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2011 the WBU was reformed in the United States of America under the stewardship of Don \u201cMoose\u201d Lewis \u2013 President of men\u2019s professional boxing sanctioning body the IBU-International Boxing Union, Inc., the WAA-World Athletic Association, Inc. and the WIBC-Women\u2019s International Boxing Council, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2011 the current WBU Executive Committee has been active re-establishing the WBU as a world-wide sanctioning body, while embracing the legacy of the original World Boxing Union<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WBU had it first recognized World title under reorganization on 10 September 2011 when former \u201cThe Contender\u201d television show participant Jimmy Lange defeated Raul Munoz by TKO in round 6 at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia.  This was to catapult the WBU to a banner year in 2012 with new champions crowned and a world title even changing hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Boxing Union has a long and glorious history of sanctioning World, Inter-Continental and International Championship fights within Europe, over the years many of Europe\u2019s top stars have been crowned WBU Champion, such as Ricky Hatton, Tony Oakey, Graham Earl, George Kandelaki, Wayne Alexander, Matt Skelton, Enzo Maccarinelli, Toncho Tonchev, Michele Piccirillo, Norbert Nieroba<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such a historical wealth of global experience that the World Boxing Union possesses will ensure that events sanctioned are of the highest possible standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women’s International Boxing Council (WIBC)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women\u2019s International Boxing Council-known as the WIBC, began in 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida by former World Kickboxing Champion Jeff Gibson.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WIBC was created as a platform to showcase the talent of world class female professional boxers, who up to that time, boxed in relative obscurity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gibson started with a bang on 21 December 2002 with his world title card at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida featuring a \u201cwho\u2019s who\u201d of women\u2019s boxing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results  were the legendary Ann Wolfe TKOing Martha Valley for the WIBC Super Middleweight title, Deborah \u201cSunshine\u201d Kettfether defeating former world champion Mitzi Jeter, Lisa Brown winning by decision over Karen Martin, Marianne Chubirka over Gracie Roca, and Yvonne Reis defeating Bonnie Mann.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff continued to promote combat sports events but realized the conflict of interest controlling the WIBC and promoting presented; thus he contacted Don \u201cMoose\u201d Lewis, Chairman of the IBU-International Boxing Union to sell the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transaction was completed in 2004 with the WIBC being relocated to Atlanta, Georgia and sanctioning its first world title under new direction on 26 December 2004 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Georgetown, Guyana with Gwendolyn O\u2019Neil capturing the WIBC World Light Heavyweight title against Krystal Lessey.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since that time, the WIBC has sanctioned world title fights in the USA, Netherlands Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, Hungary, and Germany.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former champions during this era include Leona Brown, Teresa Perozzi, Penthouse feature Hollie Dunaway, supermodel Krisztina Belinszky, iconic Natascha Ragosina, and calendar girl Lisa Garland-who made history fighting the first 10 round world championship fight with 3 minute rounds on 2 March 2012 in Franklin (Nashville), Tennessee, USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WIBC undertook a major transition following the appointment of Marianne Marston as President in May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marston\u2019s first move was to relocate the WIBC headquarters to the United Kingdom, the second being the formation of a new international board, with representation drawn from five regions \u2013 Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first appointments to the WIBC board being renowned female boxers, as well as qualified referees\/judges Bena Kaloki from Kenya and Sheila Cunha from Brazil and highly experienced Commission officials Vikki Duong from Vietnam, Willeke Carli from Italy, Fatima Martinez from Paraguay and Dr Angela Jones from the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
