A '''septuple champion''' in [[boxing]] refers to a boxer who has won seven different titles in seven [[List of boxing weight classes|different categories of weight]].
In [[boxing]], a '''septuple champion''' is a boxer who has won world titles in seven [[Weight class (boxing)|different weight classes]].


'''[[Manny Pacquiao]]''' is the first boxer to win world titles in seven different weight divisions.<ref>{{cite news | title = Pacquiao batters, bloodies Cotto for 12th round TKO | first = Bob | last = Velin | newspaper = USA Today | date = 16 November 2009 | url = https://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2009-11-15-pacquiao-cotto_N.htm }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title = Pacquiao wins 7th world title | first = David | last = Dizon | work = ABS-CBN News | date = 15 November 2009 | url = http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/11/15/09/pacquiao-wins-7th-world-title }}</ref> Pacquiao clinched the feat when he defeated [[Miguel Cotto]] via TKO in 12th round and won the [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] Welterweight (147&nbsp;lbs) title on November 14, 2009 at the [[MGM Grand Garden Arena]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/8354578.stm |title=Pacquiao win makes boxing history |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=2009-11-15 |accessdate=2009-11-16}}</ref> Five of his world championships came from the "Big Four" (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) sanctioning bodies and two were from ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'', which hands out an official version of the [[lineal championship]].

==Recognition==
===Major sanctioning bodies===
There is some dispute on which sanctioning body is considered "major" enough to award championships. The "Big 4" sanctioning bodies are always included. They are arranged in order of foundation:
*[[World Boxing Association]] (WBA)
*[[World Boxing Council]] (WBC)
*[[International Boxing Federation]] (IBF)
*[[World Boxing Organization]] (WBO)


'''[[Amanda Serrano]]''' (born October 9, 1988) is a Puerto Rican professional boxer and mixed martial artist. As a boxer, she is the unified featherweight world champion, having held the WBO title since 2019, IBO title since 2021 and the WBA title since 2023. She held the IBF title between 2022 and 2024. She is the only female, and Puerto Rican, to win world titles in more than four weight classes, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most boxing world championships won in different weight-classes by a female, having held 9 major world titles across seven different weight classes.
===''The Ring''===
In 2002, ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' gave out "The Ring Magazine" belt to the lineal champion of the division. "The Lineal Champion" is also known as the true champion on the divison, the man holds the linear reign to the throne. The man who beat the man, also known as the "People's Champion".


On January 18, 2019, Serrano defeated Eva Voraberger in the first round to capture the vacant WBO super flyweight title. In doing so she became the second boxer (male or female) to capture a major title in seven weight classes after Manny Pacquiao. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2019/1/18/18188965/amanda-serrano-destroys-eva-voraberger-wins-title-in-7th-division |title=Amanda Serrano destroys Eva Voraberger, wins title in 7th division |publisher=[[Bad Left Hook]] |date=2019-01-18 |accessdate=2024-11-25}}</ref>
''The Ring'' echoed many critics' arguments that the sanctioning bodies in charge of boxing championships had undermined the sport by pitting undeserving contenders against undeserving "champions", and forcing the boxing public to see mismatches for so-called "world championships". In 2002, ''The Ring'' attempted to clear up the confusion regarding world champions by creating a championship policy that is "intended to reward fighters who, by satisfying rigid criteria, can justify a claim as the true and only world champion in a given weight class." ''The Ring'' claims to be more authoritative and open than the sanctioning bodies' rankings, with a page devoted to full explanations for ranking changes. A fighter pays no sanctioning fees to defend or fight for the title at stake, contrary to practices of the sanctioning bodies. Furthermore, a fighter cannot be stripped of the title unless he loses, decides to move to a different weight division, or retires.


If minor titles are also counted, the first man to win seven world titles was [[Héctor Camacho]]. His first three titles came from the [[World Boxing Council]] and the [[World Boxing Organization]]; his latter four titles came from the International Boxing Council and the National Boxing Association, a minor sanctioning body that was established in 1984 and not to be confused with the original National Boxing Association that was established in 1921 and changed its name to [[World Boxing Association]] in 1962.
There are currently only two ways that a boxer can win ''The Ring'''s title: defeat the reigning champion; or win a box-off between the magazine's number-one and number-two rated contenders (or, sometimes, number-one and number-three rated). A vacant ''Ring'' championship is filled when the number-one contender in a weight-division battles the number-two contender or the number-three contender (in cases where ''The Ring'' determines that the number-two and number-three contenders are close in abilities and records).


''The Ring'''s championship policy has gained the acceptance of outlets in North America such as ESPN and, to an extent, HBO; it has also been mentioned by the BBC in the United Kingdom.

===Minor sanctioning bodies===
The minor sanctioning bodies are sometimes included. They are:
*[[International Boxing Council]] (IBC)
*[[International Boxing Union]] (IBU)
*[[World Boxing Federation]] (WBF)
*[[World Boxing Union]] (WBU)
*[[International Boxing Organization]] (IBO)
*[[International Boxing Association (professional body)|International Boxing Association]] (IBA)
The IBO was founded in 1988, while the IBA was founded in the 1990s. The IBA is not to be confused with the [[International Boxing Association]], more commonly known from its French acronym AIBA, which sanctions amateur matches.

==History==

[[Héctor Camacho]] won seven world titles in seven weight classes. Camacho's first three titles came from the [[World Boxing Council]] and the [[World Boxing Organization]]; his latter four titles came from the [[International Boxing Council]] and the National Boxing Association, considered a minor championship (established in 1984; not to be confused with with the original National Boxing Association that became the [[World Boxing Association]]).

'''[[Manny Pacquiao]]''' has held seven world championships in seven weight divisions. Pacquiao clinched the feat when he defeated [[Miguel Cotto]] who held the [[World Boxing Organization]] welterweight title in November 14, 2009 at the [[MGM Grand Las Vegas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/8354578.stm |title=Pacquiao win makes boxing history |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=2009-11-15 |accessdate=2009-11-16}}</ref> Five of Pacquiao's world championships came from the "Big Four" sanctioning bodies and two were from Ring Magazine or the "Lineal Champion". ([[World Boxing Council|WBC]], [[World Boxing Association|WBA]], [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]], [[World Boxing Organization|WBO]]): his featherweight title awarded by ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' in 2003 at the [[Alamodome]] in [[San Antonio, Texas]], [[United States]] by beating [[Marco Antonio Barrera]], and his ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' junior welterweight and [[International Boxing Organization]] light welterweight championships when he [[knock out|knocked out]] [[Ricky Hatton]] in [[Las Vegas metropolitan area|Las Vegas]].

In boxing, a septuple champion is a boxer who has won world titles in seven different weight classes.

Manny Pacquiao is the first boxer to win world titles in seven different weight divisions.[1][2] Pacquiao clinched the feat when he defeated Miguel Cotto via TKO in 12th round and won the WBO Welterweight (147 lbs) title on November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.[3] Five of his world championships came from the "Big Four" (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) sanctioning bodies and two were from The Ring, which hands out an official version of the lineal championship. He also won world championship belt from IBO in Light Welterweight division. The following are the world titles won by Pacquiao (arranged chronologically): WBC Flyweight (112 lbs), IBF Super Bantamweight (122 lbs), The Ring Featherweight (126 lbs), The Ring and WBC Super Featherweight (130 lbs), WBC Lightweight (135 lbs), The Ring and IBO Light Welterweight (140 lbs) and WBO Welterweight (147 lbs).

Amanda Serrano (born October 9, 1988) is a Puerto Rican professional boxer and mixed martial artist. As a boxer, she is the unified featherweight world champion, having held the WBO title since 2019, IBO title since 2021 and the WBA title since 2023. She held the IBF title between 2022 and 2024. She is the only female, and Puerto Rican, to win world titles in more than four weight classes, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most boxing world championships won in different weight-classes by a female, having held 9 major world titles across seven different weight classes.

On January 18, 2019, Serrano defeated Eva Voraberger in the first round to capture the vacant WBO super flyweight title. In doing so she became the second boxer (male or female) to capture a major title in seven weight classes after Manny Pacquiao. [4]

If minor titles are also counted, the first man to win seven world titles was Héctor Camacho. His first three titles came from the World Boxing Council and the World Boxing Organization; his latter four titles came from the International Boxing Council and the National Boxing Association, a minor sanctioning body that was established in 1984 and not to be confused with the original National Boxing Association that was established in 1921 and changed its name to World Boxing Association in 1962.
