LIVE UPDATES
Former world's heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua has moved above Tyson Fury into first position in the latest WBC heavyweight rankings.
Fury however lost his WBC heavyweight title when Oleksandr Usyk defeated him in May’s clash in Saudi Arabia.
Having been previously ranked as champion, Fury has now fallen and has been placed as the second-ranked heavyweight contender by the WBC.
The organisation has placed him below long-term British-Nigerian rival Joshua, who sits behind Usyk, whom he has lost to twice.
Joshua has back-to-back impressive wins over Francis Ngannou and Otto Wallin under his belt, and may well compete for the vacant IBF title against Daniel Dubois in September.
Agit Kabayel rounds out the top three after his impressive underdog win over Frank Sanchez on the Fury vs Usyk bill in May and Zhilei Zhang sits in fourth after his huge Knock Out (KO) win over Deontay Wilder, while Nigerian heavyweight boxer Efe Ajagba makes up the top five holding the WBC ‘silver’ trinket belt.
Jared Anderson is sixth with Martin Bakole and Kabayel’s rival Sanchez ranked at numbers 7 and 8. Joe Joyce keeps a place in the top 10 in ninth, while rising star Bakhodir Jalolov completes the list.
