    It's a long story so I'll use the abridged version...

    I'm trying to come up with the definitive list of Governing bodies that offer a "World" title...

    I've got the following,

    WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO, IBA, IBU, IBC, WBU, WBF, WBB, WBE

    If you can think of anymore please let me know!!

    Thanks in advance!

    You could go on Boxrec and look up the list of titles offerred on the drop down list on the 'titles' page, there may be one or two missing but most and even a few obsolete ones are there.
