WBC release rankings for December 2020

The WBC tables as of December 2020

December's rankings released on December 9

The World Boxing Council released their latest world rankings on December 9, which includes a brand new weight category to bridge the gap between cruiser and heavyweight.

There’s lots of movement in the blue-ribbon heavyweight division as ‘Juggernaut’ Joe Joyce jumps up six spots after his fine win over 'Dynamite' Daniel Dubois last month, who slips all the way down to #17.
