This list of bantamweight boxing world champions provides an overview of all universal boxing world champions as well as all of the former NYSAC association and all of the NBA association (the NBA was renamed WBA in 1962 ) and all of the four recognized and currently active world associations ( WBC , WBA , IBF , WBO ) in bantamweight in chronological order in separate tables. The WBA superchampions are listed both in the chronological WBA table and in a separate table. The status of the super champion of the WBA is ranked higher than that of the regular. Therefore, the WBA super champion is the actual world champion. The WBO has only been one of the major associations since 2007.
