Before 1909, anyone below [[featherweight]] was considered a [[bantamweight]], regardless of how small the boxer. In 1911, the organization that eventually became the [[British Boxing Board of Control]] held a match that crowned Sid Smith as the first flyweight champion of the world. [[Jimmy Wilde]], who reigned from 1914 to 1923, was the first fighter recognized both in Britain and the United States as a flyweight champion.<ref>{{cite book | last = Mullan | first = Harry | title = Boxing: The Definitive Illustrated Guide to World Boxing | publisher = Carlton Books | date = 1996 | location = London, England | pages = 186 | isbn = 0785806415}}</ref> Some notable flyweights include [[Pone Kingpetch]], [[Walter McGowan]], [[Pascual Pérez (boxing)|Pascual Pérez]], [[Francisco Guilledo|Pancho Villa]], [[Dave McAuley]], [[Miguel Canto]], [[Pone Kingpetch]], and [[Jorge Arce]]. ===Current world champions=== {| border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" !Sanctioning Body !Reign Began !Champion !Record !Defenses |- |[[World Boxing Association|WBA]] |[[March 19]] [[2007]] |{{flagicon|Japan}} [[Takefumi Sakata]] |31-4-1 (15 KO) |2 |- |[[World Boxing Council|WBC]] |[[July 18]] [[2007]] |{{flagicon|Japan}} [[Daisuke Naito]] |31-2-2 (20 KO) |1 |- |[[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] |[[July 7]], [[2007]] |{{flagicon|Philippines}} [[Nonito Donaire]] |18-1 (11 KO) |1 |- |[[World Boxing Organization|WBO]] |[[July 13]] [[2007]] |{{flagicon|Argentina}} [[Omar Narvaez]] |24-0-2 (15 KO) |9 |- |} ==Amateur Champions== ===Olympic Champions=== *[[Boxing at the 1904 Summer Olympics|1904]] &ndash;
