Boxing News: WBA reinstates Russian boxers in rankings » June 19 … – Fight News
By Boxing Bob Newman
After meeting this morning, concerning strong comments made by former WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi regarding the expulsion of Russian fighters from the ratings, the WBA has decided to reinstate Russian and Belarusian Boxers in their rankings. As long as these fighters are not involved in the war against the Ukraine and do not openly support the war, they may be rated. At the outset of the war, the WBA voted to not rate Russian or Belarusian Boxers, nor sanction WBA fights in those countries.
The WBA is a disgrace and they have further tarnished an already sullied reputation by these bigoted discriminatory and fascist actions. Unless an athlete politically capitulated to the WBA’s politics, they recognized by the WBA. This sanctioning organization is finished in my book
They arent recognized*
First of all, why would it matter period if the fighters were Russian or Belarusian? Race should not matter regardless of politics in the boxing world. The US has been guilty of bullying their way(s) into other countries and taking lives, but no accountability there in the boxing ranks. Just saying…
Thats a fact! And furthermore, for a Russian or Belarusian fighter to be recognized by the WBA they have to agree with the WBA’s politics too?? Its outrageous! This is unacceptable. Its bad enough the WBA creates 100 champions per division for the sanctioning fees, now theyre playing the role of fascists? The WBA is done! I’ll never recognize them as a legit title and i believe the WBC also took this same bigoted course as well
Absolutely PATHETIC!!!! Agree with the war or not it is a citizens right to support their country!! Why not ban all American boxers from the rankings because US loves to terrorize smaller countries. Also, the US is using the Ukraine to launder money. The Ukraine government is one of the most corrupt on the planet. I am not a Russia supporter by any means. The fact that they were banned from the World Cup and boxing rankings is an absolute JOKE!!
It’s a citizen’s right to support their country and it’s a private organization’s right to choose who they do business with.
It’s not like the NFL where if a player is banned he has nowhere else to go. If he’s not ranked by the WBA but has a good promoter or manager he’ll be ranked by one of the other organizations.
The WBA should have some guts and stick to their stance if that’s what they feel is right.
Thats a fact! Ukraine is no more innocent and the United States current government is involved in a criminal conspiracy regarding this war but nevertheless, what does a Russian fighter have to do with it? Its nonsense! Even Max Schmeling had the opportunity to win and fight for the title during the height of Nazi rule and WW2. The WBA has completely and forever disgraced itself. They should have not adopted this Leftist turn for the worse, they destroyed themselves
Love your posts, Berserker! You always keep it real.
Who the hell is the WBA to dictate what political stances boxers may have or what they say? First of all, most Russian boxers don’t even live in Russia, but that’s besides the point. The WBA has lost so much credibility in recent years. I gotta say, I am liking Paulie Mallignaggi a lot these days, both as a commentater and as a statesman for the sport. Ironically, didn’t he get fired from Showtime for making a benign comment about Russian boxers that the network went out of their way to perceive as racist?
Paulie calling them out on a public forum where they cant hide caused the change of heart. The WBA is still a joke. Our recognition of the real champion per division is what truly matters. The belts are just accessories that longer hold value.
All of their “champions” should collectively throw the WBA belts in the garbage like Bowe did. Only this time, we have the means for everyone to see it live.
Funny I don’t seem to remember the WBA removing any american boxers from the rankings when the US invaded Iraq, Afghanistan or any other number of countries in the last 40 years The WBA has become the worst organisation in boxing
If Russia invaded an African country would y’all be outraged too? Would y’all want the sanctioning organization not to rant Russian boxers? I doubt it. Athletes have no control over what wars get started so why are they punished? Made zero sense for them to lost their ranking in the first place.
Even if Russia did invade an African country, fascism should never be tolerated in the sport of boxing! Youre such a bird brained racist you miss the forest for the trees. There is nothing racial about the outrage here, its about the freedom of an individual to believe what they want, and to support their own country if they so wish. Whose the WBA to dictate what political beliefs you should have? The United States invaded helpless countries, even African countries and there was no such ban. Youre making a completely asinine assessment arbitrarily accusing folks of racism as if this is a “white” “black” issue, man get over yourself
You know what? Who cares? Boxing and politics don’t mix, never have. In fact, it unites others regardless of color to root on their favorite fighter. The WBA did what every person with no heart or a brain and became a follower in this fake social justice agenda. I love boxing watch it, compete in it, train for it, and I will equally box any person any day. And that’s the way it should be!
For interest’s sake, Russia has had huge involvement on the African continent through the years, north to south, in politics, wars and supplying arms. Agree with your point re racism, and how people try pull racism into everything.
So sad it is always the citizens that suffer the most, and like in this discussion, the sportsmen/women, suffer the most where there is war or political strife. Put the politicians in the front line and see how quickly their arrogance and wiseass talking would disappear.
Nikolai Valuev is back as #1 contender after this

Tony Ferguson is not ranked in the Top 15 at 155 pounds.
That’s why Paddy Pimblett doesn’t expect to earn a spot on the lightweight ladder with a victory over the former interim champion when they collide at the upcoming UFC 296 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., Dec. 16, 2023 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see myself being put in the Top 15 after a win against Tony,” Pimblett told The Energized Show (transcribed by MMA News). “Bobby Green didn’t, and Bobby Green fought — beat him before I did, you know what I mean? So, I can see me fighting someone like that: Bobby Green, Grant Dawson, you know what I mean? Someone like that to get in the rankings.”
Pimblett and Green have a score to settle after this “fathead” incident at UFC San Diego.
“I mean, that’s what I can see after I beat Tony,” Pimblett continued. “Like, especially if the big fella Conor’s [McGregor] coming back in UFC 300, lad. The missus will be due a couple of weeks after that. So, it’d be nice to get another, another fight in, get another payday in before the twins are due.”

The promotion is currently working on its lineup for the blockbuster UFC 300 card in April, which may be headlined by former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Pimblett vs. Green would be a strong addition, assuming “King” prevails this weekend at UFC Austin.

In a grudge match, undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over José Benavídez Jr. (28-3-1, 19 KOs) in a non-title WBC special event on Saturday night’s Benavidez-Andrade card at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Returning after nearly 2 1/2 years, Charlo was stronger than the aggressive Benavidez and won most of the rounds. Benavidez was wobbled in the tenth. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 100-90.
Give props. He fought well. He knows how to fight.
Charlo did a good job moving, countering, and even leading in many rounds of the fight. Yes, he did well. However, I question if he can even stop Canelo who is much stronger than Benavidez Jr. Charlo will need to beat Canelo on points should they fight. I dont see a KO for Charlo against Canelo.
lol Canelo has never been knocked down let alone knocked out. Charbum absolutely has no chance of even hurting him. Charbum will be the one getting laid out if they fight.
Please nobody wants to see Charlo vs Canelo. The only fight for Canelo is Benavidez.
Benavidez vs Bivol is what we really want to see
Charlo very dominant, Jose put a valiant effort, but lacks fundamental
He should be ashamed he could not ko Benavides
Boxing should not let this fights go on
In the weigh in looks like over weight boxer is not a problem
But this like putting one live on risk
Charlo was too strong for Benavides
Can’t say I’d be too proud beating a guy two weight classes below me. And he couldn’t stop him? The commentators kept saying solid performance by Charlo and i get it .. he was out 40 months. But still, this was a super middle weight fighting a blown up welterweight. I guess that’s what Benavidez gets for all the pre fight talk. I pick Plant and Morrell over Charlo.
Not to bad after almost three years without fighting but nowhere close to challenge any one of the big names at Super Middle. Plant, Mibilli, Morrel and Benavidez would smoke him.
This fight did not settle in my gut correctly because Charlo missed weight. Under such weight related circumstances, Benavidez hung in there with a solid chin. Charlo’s punches were creative, and his jabs were mean.
Agree E man …Charlo had some good moments….but clearly that finisher that beast we are use to seeing .,.not there… hopefully it is rust…but …Charlo struggling with something else…can clearly see it…I hope that Charlo is “ok” outside the ring…
Yep, how good would charlo have been if he had of sweated off the extra 3-4 pounds and actually made weight ? Possibly a more even playing field for the smaller Benevidez Jr……
Hopefully charlo fights plant next
Not bad for charlo.good fight to get the rust out! Benavidez was talk,talk bullishht and no pop in his punches! Great sportsmanship on charlo at the post fight interview. Bobo gettn’ KO by benavidez next fight! Its a total mismatch, bobo too weak for the hard punching destroyer in benavidez! Bobo’s promoters don’t realize the danger they put him for picking this fight. Benavidez by brutal KO of the year on the 8th or a “no-mas” call out!
Dominated a welter weight (blown up). He got rounds in and maintained composure surprisingly.
I’m at the fight and there are no ring girls! WTF!!!
Benavidez about to stop Boo-boo. One more round
Done.
It was expected! A bobo blow out! Benavidez is in onother level, and not the bums bobo is used to fight and strugled with when he was champion! The most “avoided” title just was too big for bobo!
I don’t think it was right that Charlo be allowed to come in so heavy in violation of the contractual catch weight limit of 163. He likely was close to 170 when he stepped into the ring, more than 7-8 lbs heavier than Benavidez. He enjoyed a height advantage too. Totally unfair. Credit to Jose for putting up a valiant effort. Charlo couldn’t knock him out either. I personally am not very impressed with Charlo. He wants the big money that fighting Canelo or David Benavidez would bring, but it’s obvious that he would be no match for either. His more immediate goal should be to fight Plant, so he can save face and exact revenge for Plant slapping him. This is the reason that Plant slapped him too, to force him to choose Plant as an opponent with the title on the line.
Jose Benavides was out boxed. He did show he has a decent chin. Charlo didn’t have enough punching power to stop Benavides. Charlo will not beat Alvarez.
Just wanted to note….Charlo …I am praying for you….you are a man before a fighter…In your corner in “life”….hang in there champ…
Charlo is done at top level. I think Plant beats him at 168 and benavidez would knock him out as quick as he did Andrade. If he has to fight Adames at the middleweight limit, then he loses that too.
Way to go Charlo!
ok, lets just hope that we dont now have
canelo-charlo. if so, another hard pass for me
Surprised he couldn’t KO him. Jose Jr, a career Welterweight comes in at a catch weight of 163. Meanwhile Charlo, a natural Middleweight comes in 3.4# over at 166.4. So you had an overweight out of shape Welterweight fighting a Super Middleweight.
