World Professional Boxing Federation (not to be confused with WBO)

The World Professional Boxing Federation (WPBF) is an organization that sanctions and oversees professional boxing matches, establishing rules, rankings, and titles. It aims to promote fairness and credibility within the sport by ensuring fighters compete under consistent standards. Unlike more widely recognized bodies like the WBO, the WPBF is a smaller or regional organization that may focus on specific divisions or markets. Its role is to contribute to the structure of professional boxing and support fighters in achieving recognized titles, helping maintain the integrity and order of the sport.
