The International Boxing Council (IBC) is a boxing organization. The IBC titles are often the beginning for professional boxers who progress to high prestigious titles. Along with the likes of the IBO, WBU, IBU, IBA, WPBF, and the WBF, the IBC is a second-tier title and their champions are not regarded as world champions, unlike the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF, which are regarded as the big four.

Famous quotes containing the words boxing and/or council:
“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing—for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it’s impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
