New Delhi<\/strong>: Teen boxing sensation Vikas Krishan (69kg), who fetched India’s lone medal at last month’s World Championships, zoomed to a career-best second spot but Olympic hero Vijender Singh (75kg) did not find a place in the latest international rankings issued by AIBA.<\/p>\n

Asian Games gold-medallist Vikas, who clinched a bronze at the Baku World Championships last month, has 1300 points in the latest rankings, making him the highest-placed Indian across all 10 weight categories of the International Boxing Association’s (AIBA) latest list.<\/p>\n

The top spot in Vikas’ category has gone to Ukraine’s Taras Shelestyuk, who beat the 19-year-old Indian in the semifinals of the showpiece, which was also the first Olympic qualifying event.<\/p>\n

Four Indian boxers – L Devendro Singh (49kg), Jai Bhagwan (60kg), Manoj Kumar (64kg) and Vikas – made the Olympic cut by reaching the World Championships’ quarterfinals and all of them have improved their rankings as well.<\/p>\n

But former world number one Vijender, who lost in the very first round of the mega-event, did not find a place in the list of ranked middleweight boxers due to the two-year rolling period criteria, under which points earned at the 2009 World Championships were removed from the current ranking.<\/p>\n

Vijender was India’s first medallist at the World Championships when he fetched a bronze in Milan, a feat that catapulted him to the top spot in the rankings at that time.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 19-year-old Devendro has entered the rankings at the 23rd spot with 450 points to his credit. But Asian Championship silver-medallist Amandeep Singh is the highest-placed Indian in this category at the 12th spot with 600 points.<\/p>\n

In the 52kg division, Santosh Harijan, who won a bronze in the Asian Championships, is at the 39th spot with 300 points.<\/p>\n

Former Youth Olympics silver-medallist Shiva Thapa is the top Indian in the 56kg division at the 16th spot with 600 points.<\/p>\n

Jai, also a Commonwealth Games bronze-medallist, has zoomed from the 53rd to 17th spot with 500 points in the latest list.<\/p>\n

Manoj, who was not even ranked earlier, has entered the elite list at the 32nd spot with 350 points.<\/p>\n

In the middleweight category, which is synonymous with Vijender in India, multiple-time national champion Kuldeep Singh is the only Indian in the ranking chart at the 45th position with 200 points.<\/p>\n

In the 81kg division, Dinesh Kumar has dropped massively from 12th to 56th with 150 points in the rankings.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Paramjeet Samota is the lone Indian representative in the super heavyweight division at the 33rd spot with 337.5 points. No Indian boxer features in the heavyweight 91kg category.<\/p>\n
