world's best
Describes a person or thing that is the best in the entire world in its category or discipline. It is a superlative form.

She is considered the world's best tennis player of her generation.
The adjective 'weltbest' (world's best) is a compound of 'Welt' (world) and 'best' (best), the superlative form of 'gut' (good). So it literally means 'the best in the world'.
Der Koch ist für seine weltbeste Schokoladentorte bekannt.
The chef is known for his world's best chocolate cake.
As a superlative, 'weltbest' (world's best) is almost always used before a noun with a definite article and the corresponding adjective ending. It emphasizes uniqueness.
Er kaufte den weltbesten Kaffee, den er finden konnte.
He bought the world's best coffee he could find.
'Weltbest' (world's best) is often used in the context of sports, competition, or outstanding quality. Typical nouns are 'Sportler' (athlete), 'Mannschaft' (team), 'Leistung' (performance), or 'Qualität' (quality).
Dieser Athlet hat eine weltbeste Leistung gezeigt.
This athlete delivered a world-best performance.
world champion
'der Weltmeister' and 'weltbest' both have to do with very high performance across the whole world. 'der Weltmeister' is a noun and usually means a person or team that has won a world championship. 'weltbest' is an adjective and describes that someone or something is the best in the world. This does not always have to be an official title. The words can be confused because a world champion is often also the world's best. But not every person who is 'weltbest' is automatically a 'Weltmeister', because that requires winning a competition. Colloquially, 'Weltmeister' can also be meant ironically, for example when talking about a bad habit.

At work, Timo found a world-class solution to the problem.
Nach dem Finale feierte die ganze Mannschaft den neuen Weltmeister.
