Kenshiro Teraji rises to the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s flyweight rankings after a thrilling come-from-behind 12th-round TKO of Seigo Yuri Akui to unify the WBC and WBA titles.

Akui, who entered Thursday’s battle in Tokyo ranked No. 1, switches locations with Teraji and is now No. 2.

On the undercard, Anthony Olascuaga retained his WBO flyweight title with a choice victory over Hiroto Kyoguchi. Olascuaga strikes as much as No. 5 whereas Kyoguchi retains his No. 10 place. Shokichi Iwata dropped his junior flyweight title in a choice loss to Rene Santiago, who enters the 108-pound rankings at No. 4. Iwata has dropped out of the rankings.

On Wednesday in Sydney, former welterweight champion Keith Thurman ended a three-year layoff with a leap to 154 kilos. He made simple work of Brock Jarvis with a third-round TKO win to set the stage for a summer season showdown with Tim Tszyu in Australia. For now although, Thurman stays unranked.

On Saturday in Liverpool, Nick Ball retained his WBA featherweight title and No. 2 place in ESPN’s 126-pound rankings with a Tenth-round TKO victory over TJ Doheny. Doheny was stopped by Naoya Inoue in September in a bid for the undisputed 122-pound championship and now exits the junior featherweight rankings.

And on Saturday in Orlando, Florida, Edgar Berlanga returned for the primary time since his wide-points loss to Canelo Alvarez final September with a first-round TKO of journeyman Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz. Berlanga stays our fifth-ranked tremendous middleweight.

ESPN’s divisional boxing rankings spotlight the most effective within the sport in each weight class. Rankings will change primarily based on current outcomes and performances. Fighters who’ve introduced they’re transferring to a unique weight class will likely be ranked in that new division, if warranted, solely as soon as they battle in that weight class. Fighters who presently personal titles in two divisions may be ranked in each.

Fighters who have not competed prior to now 12 months — and do not have a battle scheduled — will likely be dropped from the rankings till they battle once more. Any fighter who checks optimistic for a performance-enhancing substance may also be eliminated. That boxer will likely be eligible to reenter the rankings after his subsequent bout.
