Frequently Asked Questions
Where does this ranking data come from?
The ranking data is sourced directly from the official websites of the four major boxing sanctioning bodies: the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO. We check for new publications monthly.
How often are the rankings updated?
Our system checks for new ranking documents from each organization every month. If a new document is available, it is processed and the rankings are updated on the site.
Why isn't a specific boxer ranked?
A boxer may not be ranked for several reasons: they may be inactive, they may not be recognized by a particular organization, or they may have recently moved to a different weight class. Our data reflects only the officially published top contenders.
What do the different champion titles mean (e.g., 'Super Champion', 'Interim Champion')?
Organizations have various champion designations. A 'Super Champion' is typically a unified champion holding belts from other organizations. An 'Interim Champion' is designated when the reigning champion is temporarily unable to defend their title. 'Regular Champion' is another title used by some organizations, often subordinate to a Super Champion.
Why are some rankings 'Not released yet'?
This message appears when we have not yet been able to source the official ranking data for a specific organization for the current month. This can happen as the organizations publish their rankings at different times in the month.
