Fighters who have held all four belts at once?

[Cheek busting]

Is there any boxer now, or in pugilistic history, that has held all four titles at once?

Or maybe before the newest one (wasn't it sometime in the 80's), was there a fighter who held all three major titles?

I can't think of one recently who has; Wlad held all but the WBC (but his brother had it while he had his, so that's pretty close) A side note - Wlad also had the IBO, a title that is highly respected in Europe, and Australia, but not so much in USA.

Personally, I think the IBO is legit, because their rankings are generated by objective criteria (well, I guess the criteria is subjective, but it's objectively generated/ranked/ordered by a computer), rather than subjective human-choosing.

But for purposes of this, we'll keep it simpler, and just say there are four major organizations - WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO.

If I had to say which one of the major four is the biggest joke, and most worthless, I'd go with WBA. Lol they have like three different belt-holders sometimes (Interim, Regular, Super).


Kovalev also has three of the four (WBA, WBO, and IBF) - he most recently defended them against Andre Ward. Stevenson is holding the WBC hostage.

Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor are the only undisputed champions to exist since the WBO was included.

Only Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor who won them from B-Hop, there's a girl that did it also.

Joe Calzaghe unified all but got stripped of the IBF because he agreed to fight Mikkel Kessler instead of his mandatory, Robert Stieglitz. When Joe beat Kessler he was then RING magazine, WBA Super, WBC and WBO. In the meantime Alejandro Berrio beat Robert Stieglitz for the vacant IBF, before losing it in his first defence to Lucian Bute.

I think Cecelia Braekhus has all of them now, if I'm not mistaking.

Cecilia Braekhus holds all four belts and has been undisputed WW champ since September 2014. She is the greatest female fighter of all time IMHO.

Cecilia Braekhus holds the WBO WBA WBC IBF and even added the IBO belt recently. She will put all 5 belts on the line on January 28th against Klara Svensson

The WBO wasn't really recognized until about 15 years ago, right? So, It couldn't have happened too many times.

The WBA is the biggest joke. I remember that guy on here who indexed the rankings and proved it.
