List of world flyweight boxing champions

This list of flyweight boxing world champions provides an overview of all universal boxing world champions as well as all of the former NYSAC association as well as 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 flyweight 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.

Individual evidence

1. ↑ Joshua's compatriot owned the belts of WBA, IBF and WBC, at that time the WBO was not yet part of the illustrious circle. She has only been there since 2007. Since then, the undisputed champion has had four titles.
