Irish BoxRec Pound-for-Pound Rankings (December Update)


There have been plenty of changes over the past few months in the BoxRec Irish Pound-for-Pound list.

Since August, numerous fighters have made massive jumps while a large handful have dropped out of the rankings due to inactivity.

The Top Two, Carl Frampton and Ryan Burnett, both hold firm despite losses last time out while new World champion TJ Doheny jumps to the #3 slot.

Calculated by the popular website’s ratings formula, below is the rankings of all active Irish boxers.

Big climbers since the last update in August include Gary Cully, Jay Byrne, and Padraig McCrory while Sean McComb is a high new entry.

Rankings correct as of December 26th 2018
