Women s boxing divisional rankings Thorslund keeps dominating bantamweight division

Men s July recruiting tracker Commitments list cuts more from the class of 2025

Dina Thorslund defeated Seren Cetin by unanimous decision to retain her WBC and WBO bantamweight world titles Saturday night at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Thorslund (22-0, 9 KOs) dominated the fight from the start and overwhelmed Cetin with her power and pressure, earning scores of 100-90, 100-90 and 99-91.

Thorslund, of Copenhagen, is a former junior featherweight champion. She won the WBO 122-pound title in 2018 and, after making three successful defenses, she moved down to bantamweight in June 2021 and defeated Jasseth Noriega for the vacant WBO 118-pound belt. After three defenses, she unified the WBC title with a decision victory over Yuliahn Luna Avila last September.

Cetin (11-1, 7 KOs) entered the fight as the WBC and WBO top contender. Cetin, of Istanbul, Turkey, was scheduled to fight Thorslund in February, but she suffered a cut during training days before the bout and was forced to withdraw. Thorslund faced Mary Romero as a late replacement and won by eighth-round TKO. Saturday's bout was Cetin's first fight since a unanimous decision win over Romero in April 2023.

With the victory, Thorslund solidifies her No. 1 spot in the bantamweight division.

Rankings will be updated every Tuesday. They'll be based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
