“Common sense has triumphed! Why only now? You know, I don’t get into politics, but that’s it. They are all politicians,” Tszyu told SE.
It appears that the first changes to the ratings have already come into effect. Boxer Vasily Voitsekhovsky (13-0, 7 KOs) took 13th place in the IBF light heavyweight world rankings.
The International Boxing Federation rankings include the world’s best boxers in 17 weight categories; updates are published monthly on the organization’s official website.
In 2024, the World Boxing Association (WBA) also lifted sanctions on Russian boxing. Thanks to this, RCC Boxing Promotions boxers Magomed Kurbanov, Zaur Abdullaev and Muhammad Shekhov regained their place in the rankings. Zhaoxin Zhang, also representing RCC Boxing Promotions, will fight for the WBA world title on July 12 in Serpukhov.
