From light heavyweight to Super Heavyweight there are more talents from Eastern Europe. I'm not sure why, maybe a combination of amateur background and less talent in the US. In HW, I see current top prospects are Hrgovic, Yoka, and Jalolov. Joyce, Yoka, DDD are black but not American. Okolie is black but most of elite contenders in CW are white eastern European. LHW is the same with Beterbiev and Bivol dominating the class. It's actually weird because physically LHW above mostly are black and caucasian, which means less competitive. Lower weight class on the other hand have plenty of latinos and asian in the mix.

Ok so looked it up and found the following :
European decent fighters hold 20 titles 12 of which are from the eastren block (10 is in light heavy to heavy the rest are scattered, only one white american)
African decent fighters (including 1 black latino) hold 15 titles 12 of which are african american.(10 are in lightweight to super middleweight)
Latinos/Hispanics hold 17 titles 10 of which are mexican decent.
The rest are other or vacant.
So in deduction, European decent dominate the heavier classes, black dominate the middle classes and mexicans dominate the lighter classes, the same it has been from like the time klitchko dominated, therfore this thread is useless.
worth noting is the european and african decent champions hold on average multiple titles (Usyk 3 Josh taylor 4 charlo 3 for example) unlike most mexicans other than canelo.
