Welcome to the official Split Decision Light Heavyweight Boxing Rankings for 2026 – updated monthly with the latest results, movement, and shifts in form.
These rankings are compiled by one of Split Decision’s analysts, using a consistent three-part evaluation model. While we reference recognised standards such as The Ring ratings, our monthly updates focus on recent form, meaningful opposition, and momentum – not promotional hype or title belts.
Whether you’re following knockout artists, title chasers, or the next generation of champions, this page gives you the trusted rankings you need.

Light-Heavyweight Rankings — Full List
Wins, losses, and draws form the foundation of each fighter’s position. Activity matters — boxers must stay active to remain ranked.
The manner of victory or defeat counts: dominance, ring control, and the quality of the performance are factored in.
We assess recent form and strength of opposition — fighters must beat relevant, ranked opponents to climb the list.
Light heavyweights have long produced legends of the sport. Check how today’s contenders stack up in our Pound for Pound rankings.
