无争议冠军(英語:undisputed champion)在职业拳击界中是指获得所有主要拳击组织世界拳王头衔的拳击手。[1][2]
在20世纪60年代之前,绝大多数拳王都是没有争议的[3],当时“无争议冠军”很少被使用。[4]
1963年,世界拳击理事会(WBC)成立,与世界拳击协会(WBA)分庭抗礼,[5]60、70年代便出现了许多无争议冠军。[3]
1984年国际拳击联合会(IBF)的创立造成了冠军头衔的进一步分裂。[6]
1985年至1987年间,经过谈判,重量级冠军头衔曾得以短暂的统一,迈克·泰森成为了自1978年利昂·斯平克斯后首位同时拥有WBA、WBC与IBF头衔的无争议冠军。[7]
1988年世界拳击组织(WBO)成立后则花了很长时间才成为有影响力的拳击组织。2001年WBA终于决定给予WBO冠军与WBA、WBC、IBF冠军同样的认可。[8]而此后WBC、IBF也开始承认WBO冠军头衔。[9][10]
有些人认为,WBO头衔是成为无争议冠军的必要条件。[11][12][13][14]但也有人认为,只要同时拥有WBA、WBC与IBF拳王头衔,便可称为无争议冠军。[15][16][17]其他较小的拳击组织,如国际拳击组织(IBO)、国际拳击联盟(IBU)等,则不在无争议冠军的判断标准之中。
