Organization

Initially, representatives of 12 countries met in Mexico City during February 1963 to organize the WBC: The United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Spain, Great Britain, and the Philippines. That meeting was called by Mexico?s then-President Adolfo López Mateos. At its apex, the WBC had relations with more than 170 countries, including Kuwait, where the first world title fight in an Arab country was held (in 1986).
