Divisional rankings: Joe Cordina wins the fight, loses ground after poor performance

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 division will be ranked in that new weight class, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both weight classes.

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.

On Saturday in Monaco, junior lightweight champion Joe Cordina defended his IBF title with a majority decision victory over Edward Vazquez. Cordina (17-0, 9 KOs) won by scores of 116-112, 116-112 and 114-114 but he struggled against a tough Vazquez (15-2, 3 KOs), who thought he's done enough to win the close fight. Cordina drops one spot to No. 3 while Vazquez enters the rankings at No. 8 after a good performance.

On the undercard, Adrian Curiel scored a KO of the year candidate over Sivenathi Nontshinga in the second round to win the IBF junior flyweight title. Curiel (24-4-1, 5 KOs) has won eight of his last 10 fights, with one draw and only one defeat, a decision loss to Joselito Velazquez four years ago.

Curiel enters the 108-pound division rankings at No. 3. Nontshinga (12-1, 9 KOs), who was making the second defense of the belt he won against Hector Flores Calixto in September 2022, is out of the top 5.

In Miami, also on Saturday, Noel Mikaelian (27-2, 12 KOs) defeated Ilunga Makabu (29-4, 25 KOs) by second-round KO to win the vacant WBC cruiserweight title. Mikaelian takes the No. 5 spot and Makabu falls five spots to No. 10.

Rankings are determined by Mike Coppinger, Ben Baby, Michael Rothstein and Nick Parkinson. They are updated weekly on Tuesdays.
