The World Boxing Council (WBC) operates as a leading sanctioning body for professional boxing, with a primary focus on athlete safety and health inside and outside the ring. Based in Mexico City and founded in 1963, it coordinates a global network spanning 165 countries and conducts an annual convention that brings together boxers, officials, promoters, judges, and affiliated organizations. The WBC maintains safety standards and protocols, including guidelines on oxygen use during rest, glove certification, and universal bandaging rules, with referees empowered to stop fights when a boxer is in danger. It also runs WBC Cares, a charitable program that visits youth centers, hospitals, and orphanages to support underserved communities. In 2026 the organization named Duane Ford as Vice President, reflecting ongoing governance activity.
