Pictured: new IBO World Welterweight Champion Tsiko Mulovhedzi


During the three-day period of Thursday, July 23 through Saturday, July 25, six bouts featuring fighters not currently ranked by TTR which may impact TTR's rankings took place. Jezreel Corrales, Tsiko Mulovhedzi, Lwandile Sityatha, Claudio Marrero, Beibut Shumenov, and Cesar Juarez were the winners of those bouts and will certainly be considered for inclusion in TTR's rankings when the rankings through July 29 are compiled.
