I thought it would be interesting to see which country has the most active world titlists.
Methodology:
-I included active Lineal, Ring Magazine, WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO champions
-I did not include Regular, Interim, or other nonsense titles
-Unified champions only count once, so Josh Taylor, Claressa Shields, Katie Taylor, or George Kambosos only count once for their respective home countries
Men's champions by country
USA: 11 (including 1 Puerto Rican)
