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

12 January 2026

 

Dalton Smith and Subriel Matias fought in a terrific fight last weekend in New York. It was Smith who got the victory, stopping Matias and moving up to #2 in the Jr. Welterweight rankings. After a very close vote, and due to the mitigating circumstances as determined by the NYSAC, Matias re-enters at #9. Lindolfo Delgado exits.

There are no changes to the women’s rankings this week.
