Three changes to the men’s rankings this week.

Joe Cordina exits the Junior Lightweight rankings due to inactivity. Raymond Ford enters at #10.

Kazuto Ioka drops one place to #4 in the Junior Bantamweight rankings.

At Junior Middleweight, having reached three years without a fight at or defence of the world title, Jermell Charlo is ruled to have abdicated the world title. As such, it is declared open.

Ranked fighters at strawweight, bantamweight and jr. welterweight are scheduled to be in action this week.

There was a new women’s world champion crowned last week. Mizuki Hiruta defeated Carla Ayelen Merino to win the vacant Junior Bantamweight title. Merino falls one place to #3. Ginny Fuchs is a new entry to the division at #5.

The only ranked female boxer in action this week is the #2 lightweight Terri Harper.
