I recently noticed that the World Boxing Association (WBA) boxing organization has disappeared from the Boxrec database without a trace! What is the reason for this? It is not listed among the registered organizations, nor among the title matches! As far as I know, the association has not been dissolved, so why did the site arbitrarily liquidate the WBA events? Thank you in advance for your urgent reply!

Good luck on an urgent reply. I have yet to hear from anyone from this site on the discussion of AIBA/World Series of Boxing events being excluded from records. I see others seem to not have their questions answered either.

world series of boxing fights arent excluded from their records, just in the amateur section of it. if i recall, back when the wsb was active there was much debate/discussion around their status

Hello. Could you please let me know how to update boxrec information for a boxer

The problem is they don't list any AIBA(IBA) professional style fights. Michael Hunter lost a 10 round decision to Artem Suslenkov on April 14, 2024 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. It's not listed under any of his fights. The question is are these actually pro fights reported to the respective commissions, or are they more in the realm of exhibitions.

It is bullsh!t for any organization that bills itself as:

“ BoxRec or boxrec.com is the official record keeper of the sport of boxing.”

To leave out a major world title from its database….no matter what the beef is.

I have a suggestion. This can be apart of the subscription or for members logged in...

Would it be difficult to implement a 5 or 10 star rating system for how entertaining a bout is?

Maybe just a drop down box, that allows users to choose from 5 (All time classic) to 1 (horribly boring). Like all user input, it'll be subject to bias so hopefully there will be a weighed averaging system.

I'm not a mathematician so I can't explain how they work exactly, but there are several different averaging systems.

Like I said, paid or free... or, maybe paid get higher average influence (if that makes sense)

I subscribe to BoxRec+ and it would be great when you are looking at a boxer's record, you could select Southpaw and the system would temporarily filter out all the Orthodox fighters. That would be incredibly helpful for matchmakers.

Oscar Collazo unified WBO & WBA belts in the 105lbs division but only shows as the WBO titleholder. Just a heads up in case nobody has noticed yet. Thank you!

Unfortunately, ALL WBA titles, current and historic, are gone indefinitely

Again…..it’s just insane that this site finds it important to let me know when a fight is for the
World Boxing Council Asian Continental Belt or the world Boxing Foundation Australasian title….

But doesn’t think the “official record keeper” might want to include one of the 4 main recognized belts.

Whatever the reason it makes Boxrec look petty and childish.

Just subscribe, it's only a dollar a month, and you can see all the titles

Why are the dates of all past fights listed without the year? This is a very confusing way of listing the fighters' records.
