World Boxing Council, also known as WBC, is a privately owned organization headquartered in Mexico. Founded in 1963, it operates with approximately 130 employees and reported $9.1M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 3 media tech buyer, the World Boxing Council specializes as an international professional boxing sanctioning organization focused on martial arts, specifically professional boxing.
The World Boxing Council middleweight champion Carlos Adames and Austin Williams held their final press conference on March 18, 2026, ahead of their highly anticipated showdown on March 21st in Orlando, which will define the immediate future of the 160-pound division. On March 17, 2026, WBC-ranked middleweight contender Olivia Curry, who holds a professional record of 7 victories and 3 defeats, joined the BoxMed health and safety monitoring platform. Previously, Matchroom Boxing won the purse bid on March 13, 2026, for the mandatory WBC World Flyweight unification bout between champion Ricardo Sandoval and Interim Champion Galal Yafai. Earlier, on March 4, 2026, the WBC established a modern-era precedent by sanctioning a May 23rd heavyweight title defense in Egypt between unified champion Oleksandr Usyk (24-0) and former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven, despite Verhoeven not being ranked in the WBC’s Top 15. This sanctioning followed the WBC's formal approval of the Usyk vs. Verhoeven bout as a voluntary heavyweight title defense in its March 2026 heavyweight update, stemming from discussions at its 63rd Annual Convention in Bangkok.
