The World Boxing Championships is an amateur boxing tournament organised by World Boxing, the International Olympic Committee-recognised governing body of the sport.
The event was created to crown elite world champions outside the auspices of the International Boxing Association, the previous governing body for the sport which had lost recognition from the IOC. The IBA Men's World Boxing Championships and their women's counterpart which had previously crowned the only recognised world champions in the amateur sport continue to be held by the IBA every two years without IOC recognition.
The first edition of the new event was held at the Liverpool Arena in Liverpool, England in 2025.[1] It is anticipated that future editions of the new World Boxing Championships will form part of the qualification process for boxing tournaments within the 2028 and later Olympic Games.
