world title

Global competitive supremacy

A world title is a championship recognized as the highest level of competition in a sport or discipline globally.

Boxing, wrestling, and chess all have world titles, though some sports have multiple sanctioning bodies each claiming to award the legitimate one: She unified three world titles in her weight class.

The phrase emphasizes supremacy beyond regional or national achievement.
