On Saturday, Gavin Rees won the WBA Light Welterweight title. It broke a tie between black and white boxers, who had 17 titles each in the weight divisions at 140 and higher. At present, here's where whites stand:
HEAVYWEIGHT: four of five titles, with one title (Ring) vacant
CRUISERWEIGHT: one of five titles
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT: three of five titles
SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT: four of five titles
MIDDLEWEIGHT: two of five titles (but if Pavlik defeats taylor on Sep 29, whites have all five)
LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT: one of three, with two titles vacant
WELTERWEIGHT: none
LIGHT WELTERWEIGHT: three of the five titles now
White boxers have gained several new titles this year, such as the WBA Light Welterweight title, and the WBO Heavyweight title.
Here's how it stands for these 40 titles:
Whites: 18
Blacks: 16
Hispanics: 3
Vacant: 3
