ESPN's divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. They will change often, based on recent results and performances. Rankings are based on what a fighter has accomplished in the weight division in which he is ranked. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.
Fighters who haven't competed in the past 12 months -- and don't have a fight scheduled -- will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to re-enter the rankings after his next bout.
Super middleweight contender Diego Pacheco stayed unbeaten after a unanimous-decision victory over Shawn McCalman on Saturday night in Las Vegas that proved to be harder than anticipated. Pacheco, of Los Angeles but fighting out of Renton, Washington, was a heavy favorite entering the fight, but had trouble throughout the 10 rounds finding his range and settled for a decision with scorecards of 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94.
Pacheco (21-0, 17 KOs) was fighting for the first time this year after three fights in 2023. He was riding an eight-fight KO streak, before going all 10 rounds with McCalman.
With Caleb Plant being removed from the rankings for inactivity, Pacheco moves one spot to No. 6 in the 168-pound division.
On the undercard, No. 10 flyweight Galal Yafai defeated Agustin Mauro Gauto by eighth-round TKO in a great display of boxing. Yafai (7-0, 5 KOs), of Birmingham, England, is the younger brother of former junior bantamweight champion Kal Yafai and junior featherweight contender Gamal Yafai.
Yafai, who won a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, turned pro only two years ago. He moves up one spot to No. 9 in the 112-pound division.
Rankings are determined by Mike Coppinger, Nick Parkinson, Damian Delgado Averhoff and Andres Ferrari. They are updated weekly on Tuesdays.
