Full list of boxing world champions: Every division title holder from heavyweight to flyweight

Andy Ruiz Jr holds three of boxing's four major heavyweight world titles following his stunning upset victory over Anthony Joshua in June.

The man few casual boxing fans will have even heard of two months ago is currently the closest we have to a unified world champion across 17 weights in the sport.

Oleksandr Usyk​ held that distinction before his decision to vacate the cruiserweight belts and move up to the heavyweight ranks earlier this year.​

Meanwhile, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (middleweight), Julian Williams (light middleweight), Vasily Lomachenko (lightweight) and Daniel Roman (super-bantamweight) currently hold two of those four titles at their respective weights.

While there is a host of 'regular', interim and diamond title belts regularly confusing matters, the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO each have their own definitive world champion.
