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
20 March 2023
Young Michael Eifert outboxed 40-year-old former Light Heavyweight king Jean Pascal to take a clear decision win. Pascal was ranked #7 but falls out of the rankings altogether. Eifert was proposed by 2/3 of the chairs to move into #7, but the vast majority of members believe that he should be #10. So there he stands.
Plenty happening this week in boxing, including two contender vs. contender match-ups at super middleweight on Thursday and Saturday: Carlos Gongora (#5) faces Christian Mbilli (#7) and David Benavidez (#1) vs. Caleb Plant (#2) at super middle.
Happy Spring!

Put your trust in the one that I put my trust in –the Transnational Rankings Board. They are a nonbiased group that want to do it the right way.
If I was a man of power in boxing, I make one organization. No WBA and WBC. I’d have one championship.

I hope that before I pass that they restore this game and bring it back to only one champion in the world

Belts are like a fighter winning an amateur trophy. Everybody’s a champion! Everybody has a belt! … This is not good for the sport of boxing.
Floyd Mayweatherinterviewed on SHOWTIME Sports, 10/21/2020 
I still think I can lick any light heavyweight in the world, but it’s too much of a mental thing to fight the WBA and the WBC too

Every darn heavyweight in the United States has a title!

Back in the 30s and 40s, we had 8 world champions that were recognized. There was a great deal of respect attached to those titles
