This word consists of the prefix 'un-' and 'angefochten' (contested), the past participle of 'anfechten' (to challenge, to contest). 'Unangefochten' (undisputed) therefore literally means 'un-contested' or 'not challenged'.

The boxer defended his title undisputedly.
'Unangefochten' (undisputed) is often used in contexts such as sports, business, or politics. Typical combinations are 'die unangefochtene Nummer eins' (the undisputed number one), 'der unangefochtene Marktführer' (the undisputed market leader), or 'unangefochten an der Spitze stehen' (to stand undisputed at the top).
Das Unternehmen ist der unangefochtene Marktführer in der Region.
