About Us

Message from Mauricio Sulaimán
For decades, the World Boxing Council has brought together the efforts, knowledge, and passion of many individuals: the best referees, judges, supervisors, doctors, and experts in various areas of boxing, all dedicated to training the world’s top ring officials.
Our determination to continually promote the excellence of our Ring Officials is not driven by personal recognition or organizational popularity; rather, we are fully committed to safeguarding the well-being of boxers and upholding the integrity of our sport. We understand that our work can have a profound impact—whether positive or negative—on the health, careers, and dreams of our athletes, their families, and their teams.
The WBC has always been known for staying up to date with new knowledge, testing new approaches, incorporating emerging technologies, and seeking innovations in every aspect that can make our sport safer, more engaging, and fairer.
I am confident that the World Boxing Council will continue along this path, leading the way in our sport with initiatives like WBC University. We recognize that there is still much to be done, and that excites us. I echo the deep gratitude my father always expressed toward the many individuals who have dedicated valuable time and the best of themselves to training generations of Ring Officials. Over the years, they have built not just an institution, but a true family.
