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.
On March 13, 2026, Matchroom Boxing won the purse bid for the mandatory WBC World Flyweight unification bout between champion Ricardo Sandoval and interim champion Galal Yafai. This followed the World Boxing Council's establishment of a modern-era precedent on March 4, by sanctioning a heavyweight title bout featuring a challenger, Rico Verhoeven, not ranked in its latest Top 15. Unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will defend the WBC title against former kickboxing heavyweight champion Verhoeven on May 23rd in Egypt. Previously, on March 2, the WBC formally sanctioned the Usyk vs. Verhoeven bout as a voluntary WBC heavyweight title defense, confirming the approval in its March 2026 heavyweight update following discussions at its 63rd Annual Convention in Bangkok. In late February, on February 27, World Boxing News reported that Floyd Mayweather’s WBC Champion Emeritus designation remains active, a stipulation from his 2015 retirement, which could play a part in his September 19 rematch with Manny Pacquiao. Earlier, on February 23, Jordan’s Ambassador to Mexico, Aldi Qasem Muhammad Alkhaledi, attended the WBC’s Martes a Cafe, where discussions focused on President Claudia Sheinbaum’s initiative and the WBC program of Boxeando Por La Paz, emphasizing amateur boxing.
