Latest update: May 2022
BOX! Magazine has issued its rankings update for the spring of 2022. There’s a regime change in favour of a veteran.
1 – Sky Houghton
Straight victories, including a British title defense and a signature win against former world champion Nadia Monteil make her a formidable opponent. Now mandatory challenger, she can count on the expertly services of Monteil to try and take Slater’s crown.
2 – Taylor Grant
Grant’s resurgence took a couple of years but she is steady and increasingly relevant since she hired disciplinarian Sam Romero as her coach. A potential showdown with Chelsea Carter is most likely to frame one of the two fighters as challenger to the world title in the coming weeks.
5 – Chelsea Carter
Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, as she did with Amber Rose, and you will sow doubt in future opponent’s minds. Carter arrived like a storm without a weather warning and she’s already causing damage. Hurricane Chelsea.
6 – Delara Salimi
We refuse to drop her in the rankings despite two straight losses due to the quality of her opposition. Salimi gave a good account of herself against destroyers such as Taylor Grant and Chloé Potvin, proving that she is no joke.

7 – Amber Rose
The loss to Chelsea Carter was certainly disappointing for Rose, but she fought extremely well. Strong individuals learn lessons from defeat.

10 – Melanie Spitzer
Although not particularly active recently, only defending her German title regionally, Spitzer has remained credible and she moves up one position.

UNder the radar
- Sarita Waris’ knockout win against Julie Marks says that the talented young Finn may have potential for future greatness.
