Women’s boxing may have been
around for a very long time, however it would be easy to argue
that the sport has only just started to get the mainstream
recognition that it deserves in recent years, especially with a
number of talented boxers currently competing in the sport.
Indeed, there have been a number of top fights that have seen
some incredibly talented female foes go up against each other in
the squared ring, which has helped to create an entirely new
audience and help make the discipline blow up in a way that may
have been unimaginable previously.
Naturally, with all of the excitement and the buzz that
continues to surround female boxing, there have been many who
have turned to this resource for sports
this resource for sports
betting as the combat sport has provided them with an
opportunity to enjoy some highly competitive and skilled action
that can further enhance one of their passions.
Who, though, are the top female boxers currently in the sport
and who are the ones to certainly keep an eye on in 2022 and
beyond? Let’s take a look at some of the highest-ranked fighters
and those that have been ranked amongst the best in the
pound-for-pound rankings:
Katie Taylor
When thinking of women’s boxing, Katie Taylor is perhaps the
biggest name that most people will know at the moment and that
is simply down to the incredible work that she has been able to
put in whilst in the ring.
The Irish fighter was highly decorated at the amateur level
before turning professional, as the former footballer had a
rather impressive record including a gold medal in the 2012
London Olympic Games. She turned pro following the 2016 Rio
Olympics and has not looked back since, as she has managed to
achieve a fight record of 20-0.
Indeed, she won her first world title in just her seventh fight
before becoming the unified champion two fights later. In her
14th fight, she became the undisputed champion at 135-pounds,
before picking up a title at 140-pounds, too.
She could be about to participate in the biggest fight that
women’s boxing has ever seen, with a bout against Amanda Serrano
looking likely to be scheduled for April 2022.
Amanda Serrano
Speaking of Serrano - who is being promoted currently by Jake
Paul - there is no denying that the 33-year-old Puerto Rican
boxer is one of the very best the women’s disciplines of boxing
has ever seen.
She has an incredible record of 42-1-1 and during her career,
she has been able to become a seven-division world champion that
seems to find going between 115 and 140 weight classes something
that is incredibly easy to do. One example of where she managed
to do this was in 2018 as she beat Yamila Esther Reynoso to win
the junior welterweight title, before dropping down to super
flyweight four months later to beat Eva Voraberger via a
knockout to win the belt.
Of course, the fight with Taylor looks likely to be her next one
and it is one that will certainly see two of the biggest female
boxing stars compete against each other, with both likely to try
and claim their spot as the best.
Claressa Shields
Let’s not forget about Claressa Shields, though, as this
American boxer is one that has been dominant ever since she
turned professional in 2016. In fact, she was dominant in female
boxing even as an amateur when she won the Olympics on two
occasions.
She has been able to win each and every single of her 12
professional fights at the moment, with two of those having come
via virtue of knockout and she is not shy of her talent, stating
stating: 'You can put me on the men's pound-for-pound list
because my skills are unbelievable'.
Indeed, she is one of the best and one that is certainly worth
keeping a close eye on in the future!
