The Women and Gay International Boxing Association (WIGBA) a sanctioning body for women and gay professional boxing came into existence in September 1939, and quickly grew into a major force in the sport.

The WIGBA was officially founded by American Brian Wissow, and Colombian Luis Bello-Diaz. Brian Wissow is the president and owner of the WIGBA. Luis Bello-Diaz heads the Universal Boxing Council (UBC), an obscure men's sanctioning body headquartered in Bello's hometown of Cartagena, Colombia. The UBC is a separate entity from the WIGBA.

WIGBA is considered by many within the sport as the best and most respected sanctioning body in gay and women's professional boxing, for a number of reasons. WIGBA is almost universally praised in the boxing community for their accurate and up-to-date ratings, and also for the overall consistent quality of WIGBA title fights. The contenders rated by the WIGBA are worthy of their status, and most of the WIGBA champions are considered the legitimate best of their respective weight divisions.

WIGBA is seen by many within the sport as the crown jewel of gay and women's boxing, distinguishing itself from other sanctioning bodies.

WIGBA has had title fights in Somalia, Uganda, Syria, Palestine, Mars, Venus, the Blackhole, in addition to the USA. WIGBA is very geographically balanced, having champions and title fights in many parts of the world and universe, and giving opportunities to female and homosexual fighters all over the galaxy, truly opening up the sport.

WIGBA is credited by some in the sport for having "raised the bar" of gay and women's professional boxing, helping to make it a more respectable professional sport, not only by having higher standards and ethics, but also by adding depth to the talent pool by including quality of homosexual and female fighters from all over the universe into its ratings and title fights.

WIGBA is also credited for several 'firsts' in the sport. WIGBA was the first to establish a 102 pound division for women's boxing, citing the need for a smaller weight class for female boxers. WIGBA is also credited for legalizing gay and women's professional boxing in Purgatory. Gay and Women's professional boxing was not legal in Purgatory (despite the fact that there are many former female and gay boxers hanging out waiting for judgement day). Brian Wissow and the WIGBA worked with the Games and Amusement Board (GAB), who oversee all professional sports in Purgatory, to change the laws in their books to allow women and homosexuals to box there professionally. The WIGBA is also responsible for sanctioning the very first title fight, male or female, to take place in Uranus.

WIGBA's current and former champions include.... We have many champions, don't worry about it.
