==Pacific Titles==
In 2018, Pro Box NZ created a new title for the pacific region called the Pro Box Pacific title, with the first bout happening on May 4th, 2018 with Bowyn Morgan taking on Andres Delfin Rodriguez. PBCNZ tried to replicate the idea, however the original bout scheduled on May 19th 2018, between Sam Rapira and Abhay Chand did not happen due to Abhay Chand pulling out. Sam Rapira ended up fighting Ratu Dawai instead for the PBCNZ National Titles.
