About Us
The Global Boxing Council (GBC) is a lesser-known professional boxing organization compared to the major world bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO). Here’s an overview of the GBC:
About the Global Boxing Council (GBC):
- Established: Early 2000s (exact year varies depending on sources).
- Purpose: The GBC aims to promote and regulate professional boxing matches globally and provide additional championship opportunities for fighters.
- Titles: It offers regional and world titles, but these are not considered on par with those from the four major boxing bodies. However, they still provide recognition and can help fighters build credibility and climb the rankings.
- Reach: The GBC operates internationally and sanctions bouts in various countries, particularly where boxing is growing but may not yet have strong representation from the major governing bodies.
- Reputation: While not considered a “major” title organization, the GBC serves as a platform for emerging boxers and helps bring attention to the sport in developing boxing regions.
Key Distinction:
The GBC is not the same as the WBC (World Boxing Council), which is one of the four most prestigious boxing organizations in the world.
