This is a list of lineal boxing world champions. A list of lineal champions in professional boxing is maintained by the historical research boxing website Cyber Boxing Zone (CBZ), with input from boxing historian Tracy Callis of the International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) which was founded in 1982 for the purposes of establishing an accurate history of boxing and compiling complete and accurate boxing records. The historical list of lineal champions were first published in 1994, and are retrospective to the introduction of the Marquess of Queensberry Rules in 1885. Since 2012, lineal champions are predetermined by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, which promotes the concept of a singular world champion per weight class. TBRB provides the lineal championship rankings and is recognized by CBZ for maintaining the list of lineal boxing world champions.
