The new AIBA World Rankings are here! Because we are at the end of the two-year rolling period during which a boxer accumulates points, the weight for the oldest event that contributes to his ranking is decreased to 75 percent.
World Ranking points are awarded for four events. Once there is a fifth event, its value is decreased by 25 percent and at most, there will be seven events included in the ranking scores.
In this case, it means that points allocated for the 2007 AIBA World Championships, the Olympic Qualifier 1 and the Olympic Qualifier 2 (for which a boxer received a score for the best out of the three) will be given less importance in the boxer's overall score, making way for this year's upcoming events, such as the Youth World Championships. This way, a boxer's most recent scores will be given more weight and his performance will be emphasized.
The next official AIBA World Ranking will be finalised at the end of the AIBA Youth World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan this April.
