World Bantamweight Championship

Welcome to champgraph

Who was champion when?

Professional boxing has four governing bodies, each crowning its own world champion, and they rarely agree. champgraph draws that messy reality as one interactive graph per division, from today at the top back to 1921. Open any plate or stud to dig into the fights, records and title reigns behind it.

  • plates are title wins
  • studs are defences
  • dotted means vacant or stripped
