無爭議冠軍
無爭議冠軍（英語：undisputed champion）在職業拳擊界中是指獲得所有主要拳擊組織世界拳王頭銜的拳擊手。[1][2]
歷史
在20世紀60年代之前，絕大多數拳王都是沒有爭議的[3]，當時「無爭議冠軍」很少被使用。[4]
1963年，世界拳擊理事會（WBC）成立，與世界拳擊協會（WBA）分庭抗禮，[5]60、70年代便出現了許多無爭議冠軍。[3]
1984年國際拳擊聯合會（IBF）的創立造成了冠軍頭銜的進一步分裂。[6]
1985年至1987年間，經過談判，重量級冠軍頭銜曾得以短暫的統一，米克·泰臣成為了自1978年利昂·斯平克斯後首位同時擁有WBA、WBC與IBF頭銜的無爭議冠軍。[7]
1988年世界拳擊組織（WBO）成立後則花了很長時間才成為有影響力的拳擊組織。2001年WBA終於決定給予WBO冠軍與WBA、WBC、IBF冠軍同樣的認可。[8]而此後WBC、IBF也開始承認WBO冠軍頭銜。[9][10]
有些人認為，WBO頭銜是成為無爭議冠軍的必要條件。[11][12][13][14]但也有人認為，只要同時擁有WBA、WBC與IBF拳王頭銜，便可稱為無爭議冠軍。[15][16][17]其他較小的拳擊組織，如國際拳擊組織（IBO）、國際拳擊聯盟（IBU）等，則不在無爭議冠軍的判斷標準之中。
