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
1 August 2022
Cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith, who was bumped out on July 4, returns to the rankings at #9, with a good win after a better shoot-out against Isaac Chamberlain. Billam-Smith is now ranked over Brandon Glanton, who needs to step-up his level of competition. Noel Gevor Mikaelyan is bumped out.
Jr. Welterweight Gary Antuanne Russell moves up from #9 to #8 after gaining a stoppage win -albeit a premature one because of a nervous referee who has been here before- over former lightweight contender Rances Barthelemy,
Barthelemy went from the ring to twitter: “I call B*llshit.” Former contender Sergey Lipinets responded likewise: “How could that ref stop that fight. [Barthelmey] was good and ready. Boxing is getting weirder by a minute.”

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
