Jake Paul loses WBA cruiserweight world ranking after defeat to Anthony Joshua in December
YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul was 15th in WBA cruiserweight world rankings ahead of fighting Anthony Joshua, but has now dropped out of the standings with Bosnia's Edin Puhalo moving up in his place.
28-year-old Paul was stopped in the sixth round by former two-time world heavyweight champion Joshua, who was fighting for the first time since a fifth-round KO defeat to Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
Ohio's Paul was controversially placed at 14th in the cruiserweight rankings after beating Julio Cesar Chavez in July 2025 and then entered his bout with Joshua at #15.
Now, though, the American has dropped out the top 15, with Bosnian boxer Edin Puhalo (27-3, 26 KOs) now up into 15th spot.
Who is Edin Puhalo?
Edin Puhalo was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on May 31, 1988, and is now 37-years-old.
He is nicknamed "Iron Puki".
He has knocked out all but one of his victims and has a very high 96.3% KO ratio.
All of his KOs have come within four rounds or less.
He has won four cruiserweight titles: WBF International / WBC Mediterranean / WBO European / IBO Continental.
