  International Boxing Organization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Boxing Organization (IBO) is a for-profit organization that sanctions professional boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships.
The IBO was founded in the 1993 as a Florida corporation by Ed Levine, who continues to serve as the organization's President and leader.
While successful since its formation, the IBO's world championship was initially 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.

The WBC bolstered the legitimacy of women’s boxing by recognizing fighters such as Christy “The Coalminer’s Daughter” Martin and Lucia Rijker as contenders for World Female titles in 16 weight divisions.

 What do Boxing and Business Schools Have in Common?
Everyone knows that the rating of pugilists by the various boxing authorities is, how shall we say this, highly problematic.
There are four main boxing associations: the International Boxing Federation (IBF), the World Boxing Association (WBA), the World Boxing Council (WBC) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO).
This, alone, seemingly, would be bad enough; the fact that there are numerous other institutional ratings agencies — the International Boxing Association, the International Boxing Council, the International Boxing Organization, the International Boxing Union, the World Boxing Federation, the World Boxing Union, and FightNews — renders matters utterly chaotic.
