How the World Boxing Rankings Are Calculated

The updated rankings take into account athletes' performances from November 2024 through October 2026.

In particular, the calculations include results from the European Championships in Sofia, the Asian Games in Aichi and Nagoya, and the Pan American Championships in Puebla, Mexico.

World Boxing awards ranking points for performances at the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup stages, continental championships, and other official competitions.

When compiling the rankings, results from a maximum of four tournaments per athlete can be counted at the same time. Points are calculated using a system that gradually reduces their value over a three-year period.

Armenian Boxers Can Improve Their Rankings in Tashkent

Davit Chaloyan and Rudolf Garboyan will have their next opportunity to earn additional ranking points at the World Boxing Cup Finals, scheduled to take place in Tashkent from November 26 to December 4, 2026.

The tournament results could affect not only the boxers' current ranking positions but also their seeding in the upcoming Olympic qualification tournaments in 2027 and 2028.
