List of boxing sextuple champions

=Sextuple Champion Club=

In boxing Sextuple Champions are just few fighters who has won world titles or belts in the incredible record of six different weight classes or divisions.

The Sextuple Champion Club is the informal term given to the group of fighters who have won six different titles in six unprecedentedly different categories of weight.

Example: Oscar De La Hoya won his first belt at 130 pounds, later he captured the 135 crown, he got the 140 belt, the 147 title, moved up to win the 154 category and he finally won the 160 world title.

This list is credited for boxers who have won championships in boxing from major or minor sanctioning bodies.

The first column of the extreme left (Mayor titles only) refers to championships won from only major boxing entities such the WBC, the WBA, the IBF and the WBO. They are the organizations that generally considered as the 'real' ones.

The second column of the extreme left (Minor and Mayor titles) refers to any championships won from professional 'minor' boxing associations that are not yet well respected by the general boxing fan or public at 'world' level.

Thomas Hearns is really the first man to win titles in six (6) different categories but his problem is that his Cruiserweight 'world' belt is from a 'minor' boxing organization, and people do not recognize his Cruiseweight title from the WBU. But Hearns was the first to achieve that prowess.
