The World Champion is the world champion title in boxing. Whoever beats the current world champion becomes the new world champion. The list begins at the world ever international match with the assumption that England were the original holders. The person who did this did not update his link. I updated his list from the summer of 2005 onward and discovered Italy is also the World Champion.

I also found that Italy is not the champion if only official continental and world competition matches are counted. The list went until Argentina beat Ivory Coast. This list does not accept result after 90 minutes. Argentina is still their Champion.
