David Tua has moved up to No 3 in the International Boxing Federation rankings.
Tua swaps places with Fres Oquendo, after Tua's win over the Puerto Rican.
Chris Byrd remains at No 1, waiting for a chance to fight Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis.
The second position will be filled after the fight between Hasim Rahman and Evander Holyfield.
Tua's manager, Kevin Barry, said they expected to seal his next fight deal this week, before the team returns to the United States to attend the Lewis-Tyson bout.
