WBA Lightweight: Latest Rankings, Fights and How to Follow
If you’re into boxing, the WBA lightweight division is buzzing right now. New champions are being crowned, surprise upsets are happening, and the next big match could be just weeks away. This guide gives you the current rankings, tells you which fights you shouldn’t miss, and shows where to catch every punch.
Current WBA Lightweight Rankings
The WBA has a clear top‑ten list that changes after each major bout. At the moment, the leader is Gervonta Davis, who defended his title with a knockout last month. Right behind him sit Teofimo Lopez and Liam Walsh, both looking hungry for a shot at the belt. The rest of the table includes seasoned fighters like Jamel Herring and rising stars such as Khalid Yafai. Keep an eye on the rankings after every fight because a single win or loss can shift three spots.
What to Watch in the Next Few Months
The schedule is packed. The biggest headline is the upcoming clash between Davis and Lopez – a fight many fans call "the lightweight showdown of the year." It’s set for early September on a major pay‑per‑view platform, so you’ll need a subscription to watch live.
Another must‑see bout is Walsh vs. Herring, scheduled for late October. Walsh’s aggressive style against Herring’s technical boxing promises an exciting contrast. If you prefer undercard action, the WBA often promotes regional titles on the same card; these fights can reveal future contenders.
For those who can’t catch the live broadcast, highlights drop within a few hours on YouTube and the official WBA website. Social media accounts of the fighters also post behind‑the‑scenes clips that give you extra context about their training and mindset.
Want to stay updated without constantly checking news sites? Sign up for the WBA’s newsletter – it sends a short email with rankings, fight dates and ticket links straight to your inbox. You can also follow the #WBAlightweight hashtag on Twitter; fans and journalists share real‑time reactions during fights.
When you watch a fight, pay attention to the judges’ scorecards if the bout goes the distance. The WBA uses a 10‑point must system, so a single round can decide a close match. Understanding this helps you see why some decisions spark debate among fans.
Finally, think about attending a live event if you’re near a venue. The atmosphere in the arena adds excitement that streaming can’t fully replicate. Ticket prices vary, but early bird offers often save you money.
Bottom line: the WBA lightweight division is delivering nonstop action. Stay on top of rankings, mark the big fight dates and use the right platforms to watch – then you’ll never miss a moment of this thrilling weight class.
