After the biggest boxing weekend of 2025, there are changes across the board in The Ring<\/a>‘s latest ratings update, including a new pound-for-pound No. 1.<\/p>\n

As well as movement in the P4P list, there are shufflings across seven divisions.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, Terence Crawford<\/a> arguably cemented himself as the greatest fighter of his era by becoming The Ring and undisputed super middleweight champion with a unanimous decision victory over Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez<\/a>. ‘Bud’ is now a five-division champion, a three-division undisputed champion and a four-time Ring titleholder.
On the undercard of that fight, which took place at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium and streamed live on Netflix, Christian Mbilli and Lester Martinez clashed in a Fight of the Year contender<\/a> which ended in a split draw.
Brandon Adams also fought on the card and claimed victory in his middleweight sequel with Serhii Bohachuk<\/a>, this time on points over 10 rounds of action.
On Sunday, Naoya Inoue defended his Ring and undisputed junior featherweight titles with a straightforward unanimous decision win over Murodjon Akhmadaliev<\/a> in Nagoya, Japan.
On that same bill, Christian Medina became the new WBO 118-pound champion with a brutal fourth-round stoppage of Yoshiki Takei<\/a>.<\/p>\n
