The former WBA welterweight champion, Eimantas Stanionis, returned to the ring after being stopped by Jaron “Boots” Ennis, achieving a wide unanimous decision over Jabulani Makhense.The fight, scheduled for 10 rounds, took place at an agreed weight of 150 pounds at the Zalgiris Arena in Kaunas, Lithuania.Stanionis dominated the match, obtaining scores of 100-90, 99-91, and 99-91 in his return home. The Lithuanian has had little activity in recent years, this being his fourth fight since 2022.Stanionis is likely to pursue a world title in a new weight category, but his victory at a catchweight is not enough to rank him in the super welterweight division.Following Stanionis’s move up from welterweight, he has been removed from the 147-pound rankings. Souleymane Cissokho enters the rankings at number 10.Here are the boxing rankings by division, highlighting the best in each weight category.Rankings may change based on recent results and performances. Boxers who have announced their move to a different division will be ranked in that new division, if appropriate, once they fight in it. Boxers who currently hold titles in two divisions may be ranked in both.Boxers who have not competed in the last 12 months, and who do not have a scheduled fight, will be removed from the rankings until they fight again. Any boxer who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to re-enter the rankings after their next fight.
