Gary where is antonio russell and malik jackson ranked in the world in their weight classes

Gary Digital Williams said...

AIBA's website seems to be down, so I can't find the world rankings.

Malik is ranked second among 114 pounders in the US behind Shawn Simpson of Chicago. Antonio is not ranked.

You wrong Gary, Malik is ranked above Shawn Simpson from Chicago he beat him twice in the usa national championship

I don't understand why Antonio Russell not rank in the World at 123lbs after all he accomplish in 2013.

Gary Antonio Russell not ranked in the World,he's the best in USA Amateur boxing at 123lbs. But that's ok he's going to be a outstanding fighter in the pros.His boxing style fit the pro rank anyway, so i'm looking forward to seeing him fight as a pro boxer.

Mr. Gary do you know if Antonio Russell going to turn pro after the D C Golden Gloves???? That's the words going around that he going to follow in Gary,jr footsteps..

Gary Digital Williams said...

Yes, that's the plan. Antonio says he wants to try and win another national title before turning pro. Also, Allan Russell, who won a national Golden Gloves title in 2010, says he's hoping to finally turn pro in May.

Antonio didn't fight elite division at the 2013 USA Nationals. He fought in the Senior division with headgear, so he didn't receive any ranking points for the win out there. Nobody in Senior Division are ranked.
