Every boxing world champion, including Canelo Alvarez and Tyson Fury

There are two current undisputed world champions in Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Josh Taylor.
With 17 weight classes in boxing and four major organisations, it's safe to say it is pretty hard to keep up with all of the reigning champions.
It doesn't help that some of the organisations have multiple world titlists. The WBA have a 'regular' and a 'super' champion while the WBC invented a Franchise belt which has created quite the stir among the boxing fraternity.
Don't worry though because Planet Sport has looked at every legitimate world champion in every division to save you the worry.
