Ranked contender Craig Parker expresses frustration with WBA placing Jake Paul ahead of him in cruiserweight rankings

The WBA's decision to include Jake Paul at No. 14 in its latest cruiserweight rankings has been met with backlash from the boxer whose spot he took.

Three days after defeating former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via unanimous decision, the WBA added Paul (12-1 with 7 KOs) as No. 14 on its world cruiserweight rankings Tuesday, thus making Paul eligible for a bout with the organization’s divisional champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramírez.
