World Boxing News presents the Top 50 Pound for Pound Boxers worldwide for April 2023. Heavyweight master Oleksandr Usyk remains at the helm.
The recent movement sees Cuban Robeisy Ramirez rise following his world title win. However, the top thirty remain the same.
Marlon Tapales enters at 35 after his unified super bantamweight championship win.
Usyk leads the way above Naoya Inoue, former number one Canelo Alvarez, and welterweight star Errol Spence Jr.
Dmitry Bivol is fifth, with Devin Haney in sixth above Terence Crawford.
If Spence and Crawford agree to fight in the summer, as rumored, the winner will become the new Pound for Pound King.
The top ten are rounded out by undisputed champion Jermell Charlo, Mexican firefighter Juan Estrada, and the super-talented Shakur Stevenson.
A recent victory for Stevenson wasn’t enough to elevate him further in the rankings. However, a title win at lightweight could see Shakur hit the top five.
Gervonta Davis can crack the top ten if he can defeat Ryan Garcia on April 22. Garcia has not gained a ranking due to a lack of titles and fellow P4P opponents.
