The WBO, or World Boxing Organization, is one of the four major professional boxing organizations. Founded in 1988, it is responsible for sanctioning championship fights and ranking boxers in various weight classes. The WBO aims to promote fair competition and ensure that boxers are recognized for their skills and achievements in the ring. Boxers who hold a WBO title are often seen as among the best in their division.

Many famous fighters, like Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya, have held WBO titles during their careers.
