The International Boxing Organization (IBO) is a US based corporation that sanctions professional boxing matches and awards world and regional championships.^[1]

It is an independent organization not recognized by the "big four" governing bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO), who only recognize each other in their rankings and title unification rules. Despite this, as of 2023, the IBO title is unified with three of the four, including the WBA, IBF, and WBO, in several weight divisions.
