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

27 March 2023

Christian Mbilli and Carlos Gongora gave us a candidate for “Fight of the Year” with their back-and-forth slugfest in Montreal. Rocked twice by uppercuts, Mbilli’s work rate and aggression earned him a well-deserved decision over 10 rounds. In so doing, the #7 contender defeated the #5 contender and advances to #2, over Caleb Plant, who was defeated handily by David Benavides. Benavidez puts an exclamation point on his #1 ranking and on his claim as Super Middleweight King Canelo’s most deserving challenger for the crown.

Plant, now 1-2 in his last three bouts, very nearly dropped below David Morrell, but was voted to remain at #3. He is fighting serious guys, after all. Morrell, most members argued, needs to take note of that and face a contender before he can advance further up the ladder. Gongora drops to #7.

Jr. Welterweight Zhankosh Turarov looked formidable against a vulnerable opponent and is proposed to debut in the rankings at #10. The proposal passes despite a few protests and Sandor Martin is bumped out.  

On Saturday, 4 contenders from 4 of the traditional 8 “glamour” divisions are in action in Japan, England, and the USA. See UPCOMING BOUTS for a view of who.
