12 men and women from the GB Boxing squad ranked in the top ten in the world at their weight classes in new rankings from World Boxing
Twelve members of the GB Boxing squad have been ranked inside the top ten in the world at their weight class in the new World Boxing rankings, with four boxers featuring in the top five.
Chantelle Reid (W70kg), Odel Kamara (M70kg), Callum Makin (M75kg) and Teagn Stott (M85kg), who all secured medals at the inaugural World Boxing Championships in Liverpool last month, are the four boxers ranked inside the top five.
Cruiserweight, Teagn Stott, is the highest ranked (2nd) having earned silver in Liverpool alongside multiple podium finishes at World Boxing events throughout 2025.
Following her return to the World Class Programme (WCP) just six weeks prior to the World Boxing Championships, Chantelle Reid, has entered the women’s light-middleweight rankings in 3rd following her bronze medal performance in Liverpool.
The same is true of middleweight Callum Makin, who is also ranked 3rd after securing a bronze medal in his home city, while his fellow scouser, Odel Kamara, is in 4th place at light-middleweight after his bronze at the World Boxing Championships.

In total, 24 members of the GB Boxing squad appear in the latest world rankings, with boxers representing 16 out of 20 of the current weight categories.
Performance Director Rob McCracken said: “It’s great to see so many of our boxers recognised among the best in the world in World Boxing’s ranking system. Having twelve members of the squad ranked inside the top ten and including the four boxers who earned medals at the World Boxing Championships in the top five, really highlights the strength and depth we are building within the team.
“It is a fantastic reflection of the boxers’ hard work and dedication, and of the coaches and support staff who help them perform at such a high level. Whilst there is still work to do between now and LA28, this shows that the squad is in a good position at this point in the cycle.”
The World Boxing rankings are for senior elite boxers and are calculated on a three-year, rolling point system which began with the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. To be included in the rankings, a boxer needs to have competed in at least one World Boxing sanctioned event.
Ranking points are awarded for performance in World Boxing Challenge events, World Boxing Cups, World Boxing Cup Finals, World Boxing Championships and the Olympic Games. In future, performances in Continental Championships will also be eligible for ranking points.
The competitions that contributed to this first set of rankings are:
- Paris 2024 Olympic Games (Under PBU regulations)
- World Boxing Cup Finals – Sheffield, England 2024
- World Boxing Challenge – Tammer Tampere, Finland 2024
- World Boxing Cup – Foz do Iguazu, Brazil 2025
- World Boxing Challenge – Usti, Czechia 2025
- World Boxing Cup – Astana, Kazakhstan 2025
- World Boxing Championships – Liverpool, England 2025
