A quiet weekend in women's boxing saw the spotlight shine on Elif Nur Turan, who successfully defended her IBF women's lightweight title in an underwhelming split decision win over Taylah Gentzen on Saturday at Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England. Turhan's explosive power was nullified by Gentzen, and it led to an outing that slowed down the meteoric rise of the Turkish fighter, who was carrying a four-fight KO streak.
Turhan holds her spot as the No. 2 lightweight behind Caroline Dubois despite the less than impressive performance.
In Denmark on Saturday, former unified women's bantamweight champion Dina Thorslund returned to the ring as a featherweight after a 13-month hiatus, outpointing Almudena Alvarez for the vacant WBC interim title. Thorslund debuts at No. 3 in the featherweight rankings.
And in London, Francesca Hennessy defeated Ellie Bouttell by majority decision in a WBC bantamweight eliminator, earning Hennessy the No. 5 spot in the 118-pound division.
Rankings are updated every Tuesday. They're based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
