OUR MISSION
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.

On the same card as Wardley vs Dubois, Zak Chelli stopped David Morrell, who now exits the Light Heavyweight rankings. Chelli is a new entry at #10.
At Welterweight, Souleymane Cissokho exits due to inactivity and Giovani Santillan exits due to divisional inactivity. Vadim Musaev and Jack Catterall enter at #9 and #10, respectively.
