Latest updates on ESPN's women's pound-for-pound boxing rankings featuring Mikaela Mayer's rise and Lauren Price's top-10 debut after decisive victories.

Updated Women's Pound-for-Pound Boxing Standings

Mikaela Mayer (21-2, 5 KOs) solidified her position as one of boxing's elite with a dominant unanimous decision win over Sandy Ryan (98-92, 97-93, 97-93) to retain the WBO welterweight title. The March 29th rematch erased all doubts from their controversial first meeting in September.

"I gave Sandy the rematch because great fights deserve sequels," Mayer stated. "But now it's time to chase undisputed status against Lauren Price."

Lauren Price (9-0, 2 KOs) announced her arrival as a new force in women's boxing by dethroning Natasha Jonas on March 7th with a masterclass performance (100-90, 98-92, 98-93). The Welsh phenom now holds the WBC, IBF, and WBA welterweight belts.

Key Ranking Changes:

  • Mayer moves up to #6 (from #7)
