Harris climbs, Atwell drops

CLIVE ‘Wonder Kid’ Atwell and `Vicious’ Vivian Harris found themselves at opposite ends when two world bodies in boxing released their latest rankings. 

Featherweight Atwell has dropped in the World Boxing Council featherweight ranks while junior welterweight Harris has started his climb back to the top of the mountain, with the 36-year-old Harris now being ranked at number 12 by the World Boxing Organisation and his compatriot Atwell, once a number 12-ranked featherweight, dropping five places to number 17.
Harris, a former WBA champion, is in line for a shot of the WBO title held by Chris Algieri of the USA, and is the only local rated within the top 15 of any division by the WBO.
He is scheduled to battle Mexican Raul Carrillo one week from today for the USNBC title in Colorado, USA, with the winner of the bout being guaranteed a WBC top-ten ranking.
The 25-year-old Atwell lost his top 15 place after being defeated when challenging WBC champion Jhonny Gonzalez for his title earlier this year and he has recently moved to Australia and is expected to take on Kye MacKenzie in Melbourne on November 12.
