International Boxing Federation (IBF) Profile
The International Boxing Federation, abbreviated to ‘IBF’ is one of the four major organizations that sanction world championship boxing fights. Its formation goes back to September 1976, when a number of legitimate boxing commissioners from the United States and its territories decided to form a new boxing governing body. In April 1977, the formation and structure of the new organization were confirmed.
The first convention happened in December 1977. Its constitution and regulations were adopted, and thus the USBA or United States Boxing Association was born. At first, it operated as a regional sanctioning body, much like what is today the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), and served as a gateway to the WBA rankings for its boxers.
At that time, the WBA and the WBC were considered the two most prominent international sanctioning bodies in the world. Then USBA president Robert W. Lee Sr, who served as 2nd vice president of the WBA from 1980 to 1982, sought to bring control of the WBA back to the US. He ran for the presidency in 1980. However, he was narrowly defeated by nine votes. This unsuccessful presidency run lead to his decision to redirect his efforts to expanding the USBA internationally.
It was in April 1983, at the annual convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey when the USBA created an international division as a part of the organization, with the idea for expansion throughout the world. Thus, the United States Boxing Association International (USBA-I) was formed. The USBA-I was quick to schedule boxing events in Asia and several other countries as its first projects. With its formation, the USBA-I paved the way for many new boxers and promoters that sought for their place in the world of championship boxing.
In 1983, cruiserweight Marvin Camel beat Roddy McDonald to become the first world champion recognized by the USBA-I. He had also held the WBC cruiserweight title, thus becoming the first cruiserweight in history recognized by two different sanctioning bodies. During its first year of existence, however, this belt wasn’t deemed to have much significance by the boxing community.
It was in 1984 when highly recognized world heavyweight champion Larry Holmes decided to fight James Smith for the USBA-I heavyweight title. It was at this point when the belt started to get its credibility in the sport of boxing. In the same year, other world-class champions such as Marvin Hagler, Aaron Pryor and Donald Curry where recognized as world champions by the USBA-I. This association gradually established the USBA-I as a legitimate sanctioning body, becoming the ‘third’ sanctioning body in boxing by most people.
In 1984 a vote was passed for the name of the organization to be changed to the International Boxing Federation/United States Boxing Federation (IBF/USBA). This name held until 2018, when the federation decided to drop the ‘USBA’ from its official moniker. It now refers to itself as the ‘IBF,’ which it been it’s common name within the sport.
The IBF awards its champions in all 17 weight classes their recognizable red belt. IBF titles are recognized by all the other three major sanctioning bodies. The organization also has created different regional titles throughout the US and the whole world.
