Divisional Rankings – October 2018: First ever Women’s list announced

World Boxing News is pleased to announce the news that a Women’s Ranking list has been added to the Divisional Rankings page.

Women’s boxing is currently booming and WBN felt recognition for the evolution of the sport was needed.

The men’s Pound for Pound Top 50 remains untouched, although WBN is considering the future addition of a Women’s P4P Top 10 page.

Until that time, the Women’s Top 5 will now be displayed on the Divisional Rankings page.

At number is undisputed welterweight queen Cecilia Braekhus, who rightly takes the top spot.

Second place is Belgium’s long-reigning lightweight champion Delfine Persoon followed by Ireland’s unified ruler Katie Taylor.

Future opponents Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer are fourth and fifth respectively.
