Usyk Tops talkSPORT's Updated Rankings of the Best Heavyweights
Oleksandr Usyk retained the top spot in the updated rankings of the best heavyweight boxers, as compiled by the British publication talkSPORT. The Ukrainian champion finished ahead of Daniel Dubois and Agit Kabayel.
The ranking’s compilers took into account the athletes’ most recent performances and their current form. Usyk, 39, who has a professional record of 25 wins in 25 fights, continues to top the list.
Tyson Fury’s ranking saw the biggest change. The British boxer dropped to sixth place—behind Filip Hrgovic and Fabio Wardley. The authors of the rankings attribute this to inconsistent performances and prolonged breaks in his career.
