Information About

International Boxing Association





Origins

The IBA was founded in the 1990's by Dean Chance , a former professional Baseball player.


"Stepping Stone"

While successful since its formation, the IBA's world championship is widely considered to be a "stepping stone" title - one which up and coming boxers win on their way to gaining the opportunity to fight for a more prestigious organization's championship title.


Men's and Women's Titles

The IBA became a pioneer among sanctioning organizations in the early 2000's when it began recognizing women's champions at the world level.
