# Ring ratings react to McKenna’s IBF win over Oliha (August 2026)

How recent fight results fed into Ring Magazine’s latest ratings: McKenna’s Dublin title win, Gonzalez’s Alameda stoppage, and minimumweight reshuffles on Box-Rank.

## Fight results, then ratings

Ring Magazine’s latest ratings update on Box-Rank covers [middleweight](/rankings/org/ring/middleweight), [featherweight](/rankings/org/ring/featherweight), and [minimumweight](/rankings/org/ring/minimumweight). The middleweight changes track a clear headliner: [Aaron McKenna](/boxer/aaron-mckenna) beating [Etinosa Oliha](/boxer/etinosa-oliha) for the vacant IBF title. The other two divisions mostly reflect recent performances and Ring’s top-ten reshuffle.

## Middleweight: McKenna’s Dublin title win reshapes the ten

On 8 August 2026 at the 3Arena in Dublin, McKenna won the vacant IBF middleweight title with a unanimous decision over Oliha (scores 118-110, 117-111, 116-112). Going in, Ring had Oliha at #5 and McKenna at #6 - a top-ten matchup that the Irishman dominated.

Ring’s reaction on the latest list:

- McKenna climbs from #6 to **#3**
- Oliha falls from #5 to **#10** after the first loss of his career
- [Erislandy Lara](/boxer/erislandy-lara) and [Troy Isley](/boxer/troy-isley) each slide one place (to #4 and #5)
- [Amari Jones](/boxer/amari-jones), [Chris Eubank Jr](/boxer/chris-eubank-jr), [Jesus Alejandro Ramos Jr](/boxer/jesus-alejandro-ramos-jr), and [Jahi Tucker](/boxer/jahi-tucker) each move up one spot as the middle of the ten adjusts

## Featherweight: Gonzalez enters after stopping Alameda

At featherweight, [Albert Gonzalez](/boxer/albert-gonzalez) enters Ring’s top ten at **#10**. That tracks his breakthrough stoppage of former title challenger Aaron Alameda in two rounds on 18 July 2026 in Carson, California - a result Ring itself highlighted when Gonzalez called out the 126-pound champions.

Making room in the ten, [Mirco Cuello](/boxer/mirco-cuello) drops out (was #6). The fighters immediately below him each step up one place: [Ra'eese Aleem](/boxer/raeese-aleem) to #6, [Cristobal Lorente](/boxer/cristobal-lorente) to #7, [Omar Trinidad](/boxer/omar-trinidad) to #8, and [Lorenzo Parra](/boxer/lorenzo-parra) to #9.

## Minimumweight: Zhu rises, Acosta Silveira replaces Sibanda

At minimumweight, [DianXing Zhu](/boxer/dianxing-zhu) moves up to #9. That follows his May 2026 IBF title-eliminator win over Ian Abne in Cebu - a unanimous decision that earned Zhu a mandatory shot at champion Pedro Taduran.

[Beaven Sibanda](/boxer/beaven-sibanda) drops out of the ten (was #9). He has been sidelined by a serious Achilles injury and earlier this year turned down an IBF title opportunity while rehabbing - the kind of long layoff that often costs a Ring rating.

[Russell Acosta Silveira](/boxer/russell-acosta-silveira) enters at **#10**, continuing an undefeated run that includes a January 2026 tenth-round stoppage of Edinson Martínez in Mérida.
