When talking about boxing in China, many people will think of Zou Shiming. Because Zou Shiming is so well-known in China and has won two Olympic boxing championships. After participating in professional boxing, he also won the WBO junior lightweight and lightweight world championships. Some people may not know what kind of organization the WBO is. Today I will give you a brief introduction to the four major organizations in the field of boxing and see what these four major boxing organizations are about. 1. The oldest WBA
WBA, the abbreviation of The Worldboxing Association, the World Boxing Association. It is the first world boxing organization in the history of boxing. The WBA is the oldest world-class boxing organization and has produced many world-renowned boxing champions. We are all familiar with many boxing champions, and Muhammad Ali is one of the heavyweight boxing champions.
It is understood that the predecessor of the WBA is the NBA, but of course this NBA is not the other NBA. This NBA is the National Boxing Association and is an American event. Of course, the boxing event cannot be just for the United States. Later, the NBA changed its name and invited various well-known boxing organizations to join. Of course, most people still joined and changed their name to WBA. 2. Currently the most authoritative boxing organization WBC
As mentioned above, the establishment of WBA established the first world boxing organization in history. However, everyone disagrees with the rule that the United States is the dominant player. The United States has always been arrogant, and the results of many games are quite different. When this situation intensified, the WBC, the World Boxing Council, came into being. WBC advocates a kind of tolerance. It is precisely because of this that it has become the organization with the largest number of boxers and agents. It is also the most well-known and authoritative organization in the boxing world. It takes more care of boxing athletes, so it also sets boxing events to 12 rounds. Most of the organization's income is used to promote boxing, protect athletes and improve medical measures. 3. The most hyped WBO
Compared with the previous two boxing organizations, WBO is the latest one to be established. The name WBO is the World Boxing Organization. From the beginning, it focused on promoting a small number of elites and focusing on a small number of top players. Later, Pacquiao's influence benefited from the WBO. The WBO's ability to create hype has quickly made it a recognized top event in the world. The star influence created is huge and it also expands the influence of WBO. 4. IBF with special status
IBF’s full name is the International Boxing Federation. Why is it said to have a special status? As mentioned before, the dominance of the WBA is actually in the hands of the United States. Later, other countries were dissatisfied with the United States and established their own WBC. So where do the previous American organizations go? They were not idle either, they became independent and established IBF. Why did this organization grow into a world-renowned organization? This is about the famous boxing champions. Larry Holmes, the biggest boxing champion between boxing champions Ali and Tyson, supported the IBF, and the IBF quickly grew into a world-class boxing organization. IBF is better at playing with emotions. It has a famous saying: An ideal, now is the time to realize it.
The above four are the four major boxing organizations recognized in the world. Of course, there are many unknown boxing organizations in the world, so I won’t introduce them one by one here.
