A total of 22 names have been on the list of undisputed world champions since Jack Dempsey in 1922. In that list, only Ali and Sonny Liston won this title more than once.
Dempsey controlled all of those belts for four years before Gene Tunney took the title and changed hands many times over the next two decades.
Joe Louis is the longest boxer to become the undisputed heavyweight champion. He has been at the top of boxing for 12 years.
