Here are some key points about the NABA:
- Founded: 1997
- Affiliation: It is affiliated with the World Boxing Association (WBA), so its titles can serve as stepping stones toward world title opportunities within the WBA.
- Purpose: To recognize regional champions in North America and help develop promising boxers by giving them opportunities to fight for titles.
- Coverage: It covers fighters primarily from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
- Championships: NABA titles are often seen as a path to world title contention, giving boxers valuable ranking points and exposure.
NABA titles are frequently contested on undercards of major events and are seen as a respected milestone in a boxer’s career progression.
