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

14 July 2025

Hamza Sheeraz moved up to Super Middleweight and stopped Edgar Berlanga in an impressive victory. He enters the rankings at #7, pushing out Bektemir Melikuziev.

Sheeraz’s move eight pounds north leaves a void at Middleweight. Austin Williams fills that void, re-entering the rankings at #10.

At Junior Welterweight, Subriel Matias won a points victory over Alberto Puello. Matias moves up five places to #3, while Puello moves down from #3 to #4.

On the same card as Sheeraz-Berlanga and Matias-Puello, Lightweight William Zepeda lost on points to the #1 ranked boxer in that division, Shakur Stevenson. Stevenson stays where he is, and Zepeda drops to #6.

For the women, there were a few world champions crowned this week.

Savannah Marshall lost her Super Middleweight world title to Shadasia Green. Marshall is now #1 in the rankings.

At Middleweight Tamm Thibeault stopped Mary Casamassa. Thibeault goes up from #5 to #3, while Casamassa goes the opposite route, from #5 to #3.

Ellie Scotney won the vacant Junior Featherweight world championship, after beating the #1 contender Yamileth Mercado. Mercado falls to #3. Scotney’s performance was deemed good enough to be a new entry at #9 in the P4P rankings, pushing out Alycia Baumgardner. Scotney’s coronation as champion left a spot to be filled in the rankings. Erika Cruz Hernandez fills it, coming in at #5.

Another vacant title was won at Bantamweight. Dina Thorslund’s leave and subsequent abdication meant that the fight between Cherneka Johnson and Shurretta Metcalf was for the world title. Johnson knocked out Metcalf to become champion. Metcalf is now at #1. Amanda Galle comes in at #5, filling the gap in the rankings left by Johnson winning the world crown.
