    It has never happened in the history of men's boxing that a single fighter has held all six belts simultaneously in ANY division.

    WBA
    WBC
    IBF
    WBO
    IBO
    Ring

    There have been male boxers who have held five (e.g. Lennox Lewis) titles and there have been a number of female boxers who have held all six at the same time. For instance, Katie Taylor currently holds all titles at junior welterweight. Tyson Fury has held all six titles at heavyweight, but not at the same time. Pacquaio and Mayweather did the same but across divisions.

    In the coming days, we will (hopefully) see two fights that will see all the straps around the waist or shoulders of the same man.

    Fury vs. Usyk
    Bivol vs. Beterbiev

    Which of these two fights are you looking forward to, the most?

    Lol nobody cares about IBO. This isn't a significant thing.

    Ditto re the IBO

    I'm looking forward to Bivol vs Beterbiev more. I suspect a boring and messy Fury vs Usyk fight, and both are past prime.

    Devalued from what it was since GBP bought it, but still worth a heck of a lot more than a pretender org like the IBO. Hell, it wasn't that long ago people were resitant to expanding the "Big Three" in order to accommodate the WBO, and the IBO hasn't raised its profile half as much as the WBO had then.
