The Transnational Boxing Rankings Board was formed in October 2012 as a volunteer initiative to provide boxing with authoritative top-ten rankings, identify the singular world champion of every division by strict reasoning and common sense, and to insist on the sport’s reform. Board membership includes fifty respected boxing journalists and record keepers from around the world who are uncompromised by so-called sanctioning bodies and promoters.

The Lightweight division featured a contender vs. contender bout where #4-ranked William Zepeda outworked, outclassed, and stopped #8-ranked Maxi Hughes in four rounds. Hughes was voted out of the rankings and Zaur Abdullaev moves into #10. Zepeda had an argument to advance to #3 but the majority of board members weren’t supportive of him being ranked over Shakur Stevenson, the current #3 contender in the division, and the proposal failed.
Middleweight Nathan Heaney fought the unranked Brad Pauls to a draw and the board didn’t smile on that; Heaney, #10, exits the rankings. Poland’s Fiodor Czerkaszyn replaces him at #10.
Three contenders exit this week due to inactivity: At Light Heavyweight, Michael Eifert (#4) and Malik Zinad (#7) are replaced by Vasily Voytsekhovsky (#9) and Lyndon Arthur (#10), albeit just barely. At Jr. Middleweight, Tony Harrison exits from his #8 ranking and Vergil Ortiz Jr., who just stopped Fredrick Lawson in one round in January, moves into #10.
