Why this desk has no humanoid boxing leaderboard yet
Fights have happened since May 2025. A ranking would still imply a measurement nobody has made.

A humanoid robot boxing event in the China Media Group World Robot Competition Mecha Fighting Series was held in Hangzhou on 25 May 2025. GreekReporter, relaying Global Times reporting, describes Unitree G1 robots taking part in one-on-one and group matches, alongside demonstrations. Xinhua also pictured kickboxing at the World Humanoid Robot Games in August 2025.
The May event report describes a mixture of independent movements and human operation, quoting a Unitree representative calling it human-machine collaboration. Winning a human-operated bout tells you about the operator and format as much as the robot. Those sources do not establish a cross-event, platform-level ranking.
This is a limited launch file, not an exhaustive survey of all robot combat through 2026. A future leaderboard would need named entrants, published results and comparable rules. An exciting fight clip alone does not establish those things.
