History

Historical Context

Established in 1963, the World Boxing Council (WBC) transformed professional boxing by standardizing titles and promoting safety, notably reducing championship bouts from 15 to 12 rounds after the tragic death of Kim Duk-koo in 1983. With 161 member countries today, the WBC continues to enhance boxing's global appeal, as seen in Caroline Dubois' recent title victory in Miami.
