Heavyweight world boxing rankings

No upper limit · Updated 4 Sept 2026

The current heavyweight world ratings from the IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO and IBO, listed side by side with the champion at the top of each column and movement shown against last month. Heavyweight is the only division in professional boxing with no upper weight limit. Ratings are pulled from each body’s most recent published list, and the publication date for each sits beneath the table.

The IBO column shows its top fifteen for comparison. It rates a hundred fighters at heavyweight, which no other body does.

Each sanctioning body publishes its ratings on its own schedule, so the columns above are dated separately. Where a body leaves a position vacant, and the IBF routinely does at ranks 1 and 2 pending an eliminator, that is shown rather than hidden.
