BoxRec remove all traces of the WBA on their site

Many avid boxing fans may have noticed a significant change in BoxRec recently.

For some reason, the oldest governing body in boxing, the World Boxing Association, founded in 1921, has been completely removed from the record keeping site, BoxRec.

The recent emergence of a rival site FightFax has seen a falling out between the WBA and BoxRec. As a result of the WBA working closely with BoxRec’s latest competitor, the entire governing body’s existence has been removed from their site.

Mike Coppinger announced on X, “Quite absurd WBA titles are no longer listed on BoxRec – totally alters how useful the site is as a research tool when writing and reporting stories. Understand what led to it but really should stick to listing the records and the facts IMO for a site that’s such a great resource.”

FightFax has been around for many years already, but have recently made a push to rival BoxRec, by becoming, in their own words, “your trusted source for all things boxing.”
