Boxing Rankings

The True boxing champions – July Rankings Update: The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board has removed Jaime Munguia, #4 at Super Middleweight, from his ranking due to his PED issues. This is an action you can count on us to make. We may wait a week or two to make sure it is the right move, but we will remove anyone clearly cheating in this most dangerous sport. Bektemir Melikuziev enters in at #10.

Floyd Schofield very nearly debuted in the Lightweight rankings at #8 or #9 but missed by one vote. He devastates former contender Tevin Farmer with a first-round TKO; keep in mind, the once formidable Farmer has not been stopped since 2012 when former contender Jose Pedraza stopped him in 8 rounds. Denys Berinchyk is bumped out.
