Professional boxing unlike most other professional sports is notorious for its disorganization. Governing bodies do little but collect sanctioning fees and hand out meaningless belts. In the old days we at least knew who the real champions and top contenders were because there were only eight weight divisions for the most part and the press covered the sport and told you who the champs were.

In Title Bout Championship Boxing 2.5 you aren't the boxer or the cornerman, or even the manager most times. You are really the promoter and you decide who fights who and when. In my Alternate Universe (AU) this is usually governed by one set of rankings either regional or world. I don't bother with the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, etc. I have one governing body called the IBU or International Boxing Union which is based on the early attempt to establish a world governing body back in the pre-WW1 years.

There is really no wrong way to set up your own AU. Let your imagination run wild. Check out the Inside the Ropes section of this forum.
