Undefeated means that, a particular fighter has never been defeated. Usually in his professional career.
Undisputed means that the fighter holds the all or most Titles at his weight.
As in boxing there is more than one promotion.
I.E.
WBC, WBA, IBF,WBO,WBU to name but a few.

Undisputed means that no-one challenges a claim such as a boxer's won lost record or a boxing championship. Undefeated means that a boxer has not lost a match.

There was a time when the world was Donald Curry's playground. As undisputed and undefeated welterweight champion, he was a perfect contradiction: shy and softspoken with a choirboy's face and good intentions outside the ring, his lightning-quick fists and punching power fostered bad intentions inside it. Armed with the admiration of the people in his hometown of Fort Worth, Curry helped transform Cowtown into Fight Town during the mid-1980s.

The "Undisputed" champion is one who combine the 4 major belts. Such as WBC, IBF, WBO, and WBA. Shannon Briggs is trying to unify the belts and become the undisputed champion right now. (which i doubt will happen)
Undefeated just means you haven't lost a fight. You could have a losing record and be "undisputed" champion.

Undisbuted means no challenge like no close calls
undefeated means well no losses
usually if someone is undisputed they are undefeated also

Undefeated means you have not lost yet.
Undisputed means you are the recognized champion in your division, owning a majority or all of the major belts.
They really don't have anything to do with each other. FYI, the last undefeated AND undisputed heavyweight champion was Mike Tyson in the late '80s.

Undisputed - you claim all belts in that weight class
Undefeated - you have no losses.

undisputed = one boxer holds all the titles for his specific weight ,
no other boxer with a title in that weight category
undefeated = denotes a boxer who has won all of their fights, a draw can be argued as to wether it it a win , but generally all fights have to have been won
