What is a world title?
A world title in boxing signifies that a fighter is considered the best in their weight class by one of the major sanctioning bodies. Ryan Garcia retained his WBC welterweight title, meaning he successfully defended his status as the champion recognised by the World Boxing Council. For Conor Benn, it was his first shot at such a prestigious belt.
