List of Current Boxing Champions

The upcoming superfight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya is right around the corner, and I have to admit that it’s somewhat renewed my passion for the sport. Boxing has always been a favorite of mine, it’s just been a little lackluster over the last few years (most of which can be blamed on the faltering Heavyweight division).

But whether you’re following the sport for the first time or simply renewing your interest, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of who’s on top. With 17 weight classes and 4 major titles within each, that comes to a grand total of 68 champs to keep up with. That’s why I’ve prepared this handy synopsis of all the current champs.

And don’t forget that Bodog can meet all your wagering needs when it comes to boxing. They’ve got odds for the previously mentioned De La Hoya/Mayweather fight, as well as odds for all the other major fight cards (including MMA action). Anyway, here’s the list:
