  The global fit of the Standard Model predictions to electroweak precision
data, which has been routinely performed in the past decades by several groups,
led to the prediction of the top quark and the Higgs boson masses before their
respective discoveries. With the measurement of the Higgs boson mass at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, the
last free parameter of the Standard Model of particle physics has been fixed,
and the global electroweak fit can be used to test the full internal
consistency of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model and constrain
models beyond. In this article, we review the current state-of-the-art
theoretical calculations, as well as the precision measurements performed at
the LHC, and interpret them within the context of the global electroweak fit.
Special focus is drawn in the impact of the Higgs boson mass on the fit.
