History

In 2013, WBAN started planning for the inaugural International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame. Their primary mission is to "call honorary attention to those professional female boxers along with men and women whose contributions to the sport and its athletes, from outside the ring, have been instrumental in growing female boxing." The event took place in 2014 and since then have been doing the event annually.

WBAN World Champions

Similar to The Ring Magazine, WBAN has created their own lineal world champions. It was designed to recognize the "best of the best" of boxing championship title holders. WBAN does not act as a sanctioning body, or has sanctioning fees. The only thing that is paid by the promoter is the belt to be made. WBAN uses BoxRec as their preferred rankings website, as the belt is only contested between boxers that are ranked 1st and 2nd. The title was first contested on June 13, 2008, on a televised PPV Event called "Finally", Isleta Casino, Albuquerque, New Mexico between Holly Holm and Mary Jo Sanders. Holms took the title home with a 10-round Unanimous Decision win.
