There are many different world boxing organizations. Today we will talk about them. There have been at least four recognized major bodies in world boxing so far. Those are the WBA(World Boxing Association), WBC(World Boxing Council), WBO (World Boxing Organisation), and the IBF(International Boxing Federation).

The World Boxing Association (WBA), formerly known as the National Boxing Association (NBA), is the oldest and one of the four major organizations which sanction and regulate professional boxing bouts, alongside the World Boxing Council (WBC), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO). The WBA awards its world championship title at the professional level. Founded in the United States in 1921 by 13 state representatives as the National Boxing Association (NBA). In 1962, on 23rd August the name changed to WBA in recognition of boxing’s growing popularity worldwide and began to gain other nations as its members. It is a non-profit institution and its headquarters are located in Panama City, Panama. Due to democratic rights to vote, the headquarters had to be once again moved from Venezuela to Panama City. WBA is the oldest of the four major world boxing organizations.
These four organizations are well recognized by the International Boxing Hall of Fame(IBHOF), which sanctions all world championship boxing sports, alongside the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF.

The organization also sanctions professional boxing bouts, alongside the World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation, and World Boxing Organisation.

Now people that are most boxing fans became vocal about the legitimacy of the organizations. Most fans recognize four major belts approved by WBA, W BC, IBF, and WBO as legitimate world titles. Other than these belts there are chances of lack of credibility.
