Kurdish world champions
Four fighters in this register hold a world title, and four are unbeaten. This is the shortest list on the site and the hardest one to get on.

The heaviest of these belts is the newest. On 27 June 2026 Agit Kabayel became WBC world heavyweight champion, the first world heavyweight champion of Kurdish descent in the history of boxing. Besir Ay took the WBF world super middleweight title in the same year, which turns one champion into a pattern.
