The International Boxing Association (IBA) is a respected organization that sanctions professional boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships.

Founded in the 1990s by former Major League Baseball pitcher Dean Chance, the IBA has achieved notable success since its inception, gaining recognition through the many prominent boxers who have held its titles. The IBA also made history in the early 2000s by becoming one of the first sanctioning bodies to recognize women’s champions at the world level.

In June 2017, the IBA was relaunched under the leadership of a dedicated team of boxing enthusiasts and respected figures in the sport: Jean-Christophe Courreges, Stéphane Cabrera, Steeve Smoger, and Jean-Philippe Lustyk. Their passion and expertise have brought renewed energy and focus to the organization.

Among the notable boxers who have held IBA titles are Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Oscar De La Hoya, Arturo Gatti, Bernard Hopkins, Oliver McCall, Calvin Brock, Mike Weaver, Sugar Shane Mosley, Beibut Shumenov, Roy Jones Jr., Fernando Vargas, Antonio Tarver, Roberto Duran, Glen Johnson, George Foreman, Laila Ali, Mia St. John, Holly Holm, Teresa Perozzi, James Toney, Diego Corrales, Mikkel Kessler, Joel Casamayor, Jose Luis Castillo, Orlando Canizales, Robert Daniel, Mairis Briedis, Sergey Kovalev And many others
