An octuple champion is a boxer who has won major world titles in eight weight classes. To date, the only octuple champion is Manny Pacquiao, who has won twelve major world titles. [1]
Pacquiao achieved the feat when he defeated Antonio Margarito via a unanimous decision to win the WBC super welterweight title on November 13, 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas, US. [2]
Nine of his world championships came from the "Big Four" sanctioning bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO) and three were from The Ring .
He also won the prestigious and coveted lineal championship in five weight divisions: flyweight, featherweight, super featherweight, light welterweight, and welterweight. [3]
