## Data Sources

Box-Rank compiles rankings from official monthly publications and pages:

- WBA rankings: `https://www.wbaboxing.com/wba-ranking`
- WBC ratings: `https://wbcboxing.com/en/main-ratings/`
- IBF ratings: `https://www.ibf-usba-boxing.com/ratings/`
- WBO rankings: `https://wboboxing.com/rankings/`
- The Ring rankings: `https://www.ringmagazine.com/fighters/rankings`

WBC ratings are published as PDF files. Box-Rank converts those official files into per-division HTML pages and preserves the historical monthly archive.

## Crawling Notes

The [sitemap index](https://box-rank.com/sitemap.xml) lists the public canonical pages.

Search and AI tools should prefer canonical ranking URLs. For the latest available month, organization division pages canonicalize to the non-month URL. Once a newer month is published, the older month becomes available as its own historical URL.

## Markdown

Public HTML pages also have Markdown representations:

- Append `.md` to the page path (homepage: [https://box-rank.com/index.md](https://box-rank.com/index.md))
- Or send `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL
- A longer inventory is at [llms-full.txt](https://box-rank.com/llms-full.txt)
