About the World Boxing Council:

The WBC was born as an initiative of the then President of Mexico, Adolfo López Mateos, to create an organization that managed to unify all the commissions in the world and thus guide the expansion of boxing; This is how on February 14, 1963 the World Boxing Council was created, initially  by 11 countries: USA, Argentina, England, France, Mexico, the Philippines, Panama, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil. Its main founders were Mexicans Luis Spota and Professor Ramón G. Velasquez, who were presidents of the World Boxing Council, as well as Onslow Fane, from England and the Filipino Justiniano Montaño.
So far, six have held the position of President of the World Boxing Council.  However, Doctor José Sulaimán Chagnón, who became President on December 5, 1975 in the city of Tunis and remained in office for more than 38 years, was the one who consolidated the body as the most important at international and global level.

Under his mandate, the WBC evolved, grew and transformed the way in which this noble sport is viewed. And for the WBC the most important fundamental principle,  has always been to safeguard, safety, health and respect for the boxer who gets into the ring with a hunger and thirst to win, to please the fans, irrespective of the  risks he/she  may take.

The World Boxing Council is a non-profit organization that works for the love of boxing with committed people who seek the safety of boxers. Made up of 166 countries with their respective confederations, its main function is to constantly make boxing a fairer and safer sport.

Today, under the leadership of its President, Mauricio Sulaimán, the WBC continues to work to enhance boxing, as well as to protect the health and well-being of all boxers, above all interest, always promoting our values: loyalty, justice, integrity and respecting the social commitment that defines  our history.
