Paul loses WBA cruiserweight ranking after Joshua defeat

Jake Paul lost his heavyweight fight against Anthony Joshua last month, and he is no longer in the WBA’s cruiserweight rankings.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., a former world champion, and Paul moved up to number 14 in July.

Following the WBA’s 31 December update, the YouTuber-turned-boxer placed 15th.

Paul, 28, ran away from Joshua for the majority of the fight before tiring when he was knocked twice in the fifth round before being finally stopped in the sixth round.

After suffering a broken jaw for the second time in his career, he needed to have two titanium plates fitted and some teeth removed.

Edin Puhalo, who won his 27th career in December, occupies the top 15 spot.
