OUR MISSION

The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board was formed in October 2012 as a volunteer initiative to provide boxing with authoritative top-ten rankings, identify the singular world champion of every division by strict reasoning and common sense, and to insist on the sport’s reform. Board membership includes fifty respected boxing journalists and record keepers from around the world who are uncompromised by so-called sanctioning bodies and promoters.

LATEST UPDATE

29 December 2025

After one week in the Junior Featherweight rankings, Kazuki Nakajima now exits to make way for Junto Nakatani, who enters at #7. Alan Picasso Romero’s defeat to the world champion Naoya Inoue means he slides down to #10. More on Inoue later.

Nakatani’s move up to 122 leaves a space in the Bantamweight rankings to be filled. Kenneth Llover fills it, coming in at #10.

At Flyweight, Masamichi Yabuki moves up to #3, while Felix Alvarado moves down to #8.

Terence Crawford’s retirement means that the Super Middleweight title is now vacant. It also means that there is a new P4P #1, with Inoue’s latest win moving him into that position. David Benavidez is a new entry at #10.

———–

At Light Heavyweight, Che Kenneally exits due to inactivity, and Bolatito Oluwole exits due to inactivity at 175. Emma-Sue Greentree and Alexandra Petre enter at #4 and #5, respectively.

Hanna Gabriels also exits the rankings due to inactivity, this time at Super Middleweight. Rachel Lally returns to the rankings at #5.

Dina Thorslund is moving up to featherweight and therefore leaves the Bantamweight rankings. Ellie Bouttell comes in at #5.
