WBC World Rankings – June 2020
23 British and Irish boxers ranked in WBC top 15 in June 2022
The World Boxing Council released their latest world rankings, which includes a total of 70 British and Irish boxers ranked in the top 40.
Instead of their usual singular ‘Boxer of the Month’ followed closely by a runner-up, they have chosen three for the month of June:
Jermell Charlo for having defended his super-welterweight title against Brian Castano in their highly-anticipated rematch.
Devin Haney for becoming undisputed lightweight king in Australia with a UD over George Kambosos Jr.
Naoya Inoue for destroying four-weight world champion and future Hall of Famer Nonito Donaire inside two rounds in Japan.
