The ranking data is sourced from published ranking documents and pages for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The RING. We check for new publications monthly and verify each list. All data is taken from publicly available source material published by those organizations and ratings sources.
Most organizations publish monthly rankings within the first two weeks of each month, though timing can vary. Box-Rank checks for new documents every month and aims to have new lists live within 24-48 hours of official publication.
A boxer may be inactive, unrecognized by that organization, or recently moved to a different weight class. The table reflects only the officially published top contenders. Extended inactivity, significant losses, or rule violations can also lead to removal.
Vacant means that organization has not named a champion or holder for that slot in this published list. It is not a ranked boxer. The rest of the contender order still comes from the same official document.
