Leigh Wood’s dramatic last round stoppage over Michael Conlan last weekend has opened a ton of potential at featherweight.
Due to their heroic efforts, and what might come next, featherweight has made its first appearance on the DAZN Divisional Power rankings - a regularly-updated top 10 that attempts to order the hottest weight classes in the sport today based on quality action, buzz amongst fans, star power and more.
The epic fight, which you can watch again on DAZN , should now provide a platform for both men to engage in further big fights in 2022.
Kiko Martinez defends his world title against Josh Warrington later this month while Mark Magsayo, Leo Santa Cruz and Emanuel Navarrete loiter on the horizon.
Dropping out of the rankings is super-middleweight. Although the division has Canelo Alvarez holding every belt available, the Mexican’s next move is up at 175lbs. That seriously hurts the star power at 12st with David Benavidez and Caleb Plant desperate to fill the void left by Canelo.
