Women’s boxing has certainly come on leaps and bounds in recent years. The sport has entered the limelight and has captured mainstream attention.

The media has taken notice of how talented some of the females that step into the ring are, with many broadcasters starting to show the fights that take place. Some have even decided to have female-only cards, although we are still a long way off from that being a typical approach.

With so many talented female boxers now stepping into the ring as professional fighters, it can be difficult to know which of them are at the top of their game. While a few names could be argued to have elevated the women’s division to the heights it has reached today, there is a flurry of superstars rising through the ranks to be the next big thing.

Let’s take a look at five of the boxers who are reigning supreme at the moment:

Claressa Shields - 14-0

Arguably one of the best at the moment in women’s boxing, Claressa Shields has done it all. Despite having only had 14 fights, she has won each of them. Although only two have been by way of knockout, she has held multiple titles across various weight classes already, with many being undisputed. She holds all four world titles in boxing (WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO).

Chantelle Cameron - 18-0

While Chantelle Cameron has fought in four more fights in comparison to Shields, the English boxer is one that has been rising through the ranks at a rapid pace in recent times. She is a current world champion across two classes (Super-featherweight and Lightweight), while she is also the undisputed light-welterweight champion. She recently put on a clinic against the then-undefeated Katie Taylor last month (May 2023), thus making her one of the best in between the ropes.

Katie Taylor - 22-1

Although she may have been beaten for the first time last month, Katie Taylor still remains one of the biggest stars of women’s boxing. The Irish fighter is still the undisputed lightweight champion, arguably one of the best in pound-for-pound rating. Her fight with Amanda Serrano in 2022 was one of the best the sport has ever seen, and it would not be a surprise if her likely rematch with Cameron were to be of another gold calibre, too.

Amanda Serrano - 44-2-1

You can not talk about women’s boxing and those reigning supreme without including Serrano. Nicknamed “The Real Deal,” she lives up to the moniker and some. She is a seven-division champion and holds the world record across the sport. What makes her one of the best is that she is able to seamlessly move between weight divisions and compete without any repercussions of the move. Serrano even went on a 28-win streak before clashing with Taylor in 2022 in one of the best fights of all time. She is also a two-time pound-for-pound WBAN World title belt holder.

Alycia Baumgardner - 14-1

Alycia Baumgardner is another fighter that has recently made headlines in women’s boxing. She is 14-1, but seven of her wins have been via way of KO. Her punching power is what has caught the attention of observers, with many suggesting this is what makes her one of the best in the game at the moment. She continues to put in quality performances, and it would not be a surprise if she were to leave a lasting legacy in the future.
