32 British and Irish boxers ranked in top 15 with WBC as of December 2020
December's standings features a total of 32 British and Irish boxers, the exact same number as last month’s count
The World Boxing Council released their latest world rankings on December 9, which includes a brand new weight category, of which Isaac Chamberlain is the UK’s sole representative in the top 15.
There’s lots of movement in the heavyweight division as ‘Juggernaut’ Joe Joyce jumps up six spots after his fine win over Daniel Dubois last month, who slips all the way down to #17.
