BoxRec, a widely used boxing database, has removed all mentions of the World Boxing Association (WBA) from its website following a dispute between the two organizations. This action comes after the WBA announced a partnership with Fight Fax at the WBA Asia Convention, aiming to replace BoxRec. The removal of WBA records from BoxRec has sparked criticism from fans and journalists, who rely on the platform for research and fact-checking. The decision is seen as detrimental to the sport, erasing significant historical data and affecting the boxing community.
