5 Countries That Produce The Best Boxers In The World

3. United Kingdom

Number of Boxing World Champions: 101

The United Kingdom is at the third position on our list of the countries that produce the best boxers in the world. One of the first recorded boxing matches occurred at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1867, and the Marquess of Queensberry regulations, drafted in the same year in London, became the standard for boxing worldwide. Former featherweight world champion Prince Naseem Hamed, former super middleweight world champion Joe Calzaghe, and former junior welterweight king Ricky Hatton are just a few of the world champions to have emerged from the United Kingdom. The current British superstars include Anthony Joshua, Callum Smith, and Tyson Fury.
