World boxing championship records and statistics World boxing championship records and statistics Since at least John L. Sullivan, in the late 19th century, there have been world champions in professional boxing. At the very beginnings, before any sanctioning body was established, many boxers proclaimed themselves as legitimate champions. Eventually, champions were recognized through public acclamation, succesively establishing a lineage.

NYSAC recognized champions from its foundation in 1920. The National Boxing Association (NBA)
