Latest published list
Box-Rank presents each published list in a consistent format. Browse this division and its archive, read the methodology, or see how Box-Rank differs from BoxRec. The latest IBF month loaded is August 2026.
There is a new Champion: Aaron McKenna
Became champion:
Won the vacant IBF title by defeating Etinosa Oliha by unanimous decision at the 3Arena in Dublin.
First shown in August 2026 rankingsView sourceThe list is taken from the official IBF ranking publication for this division. Box-Rank formats that published list so you can browse it alongside other months and organizations.
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.
