Boxing News - Latest Headlines

Three contenders exit the rankings this week after spending a year on the sidelines. At Cruiserweight, Yuniel Dorticos (3) makes way for Arsen Goulamirian, who just handed Aleksei Egorov his first defeat. Goulamirian hasn’t been in the ring since 2019, when he ruined the record of Constantin Bejenaru. Now 35, he should correct that.

Middleweight Demetrius Andrade (3) may want to consider picking up a few stay-busy bouts because he’s a regular when it comes to inactive contenders losing their ranking. He makes way for Brazil’s Esquiva Falcao.

Flyweight McWilliams Arroyo (6) exits as well. Dave Apolinario, who scored a first round KO in July, enters in at #10. Artem Dalakian (3) was very close to exiting as well, but he got a deal done yesterday and we put the brakes on his removal.
