The top 10 heavyweight boxers in the world have been ranked by Ring Magazine with Tyson Fury coming on top of the rankings.

With the supposed agreement of Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury happening in 2021, and the third contest between Fury and Deontay Wilder, the heavyweight division has once again become the popular class in boxing.

Ring magazine have also named their other top 10 boxers in the division and with one of the biggest fights in the history of the heavyweight division not too far away, they have named Tyson Fury as their number one in the division.


Here is the top 10 according to Ring Magazine:

10. Kubrat Pulev

9. Oscar Rivas


8. Michael Hunter

7. Joseph Parker

6. Alexander Povetkin



5. Luis Ortiz

4. Deontay Wilder

3. Dillian Whyte

2. Anthony Joshua


1. Tyson Fury

The Gypsy King ends up top of the list, the only man unbeaten on this list after the controversial draw, then dominating win over Deontay Wilder in their fights in 2018 and 2020.

Anthony Joshua comes second place after regaining the WBA, IBF, IBO, and WBO titles after his shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019. Joshua currently sits on a record of 23 wins and one loss, also with a staggering 87.5% KO percentage.

The most surprising placement is arguably Wilder coming fourth behind Whyte. The Bronze Bomber arguably has the second best record with a 42-1-1 record with the draw and loss only coming at the hands of Fury.

The former WBC champions held the belt for five years.

What do you think of this top 10 ranking of heavyweight champions?

Efe Ajagba is still a heavyweight prospect or we can say he's a contender.

But be rest assured, his time is coming maybe in the next 3 years from now.

No man alive can defeat fury. Great chin and stamina with boxing IQ.
Joshua- no stamina and limited movement and average chin
Whyte- Dodgy chin and gra gra boxing iq with a bad ass left hook
Wilder- all power with limited boxing IQ and average chin.

Good analysis there, some mophos here think say boxing na sentimental sport.person wey pass u pass u.

Why should I take sniper? Kudos to Anthony Joshua, that's my man but have you heard about this man; Dick Tiger?



Dick Tiger (born Richard Ihetu; August 14, 1929 – December 14, 1971) was a Nigerian-born professional boxer who held the World Middleweight and World Light Heavyweight Championships.


Tiger was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1965, while the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1966. In 2002, Tiger was voted by The Ring magazine as the 31st greatest fighter of the last 80 years.

This rating is very accurate . Tyson Fury is the best and most skillful among them for now.Wilder is just a scam. He loves selecting easy fight until he selected fury that beat him. In fact,for years Wilder cawordly avoided fighting with Dillian Whyte but our Anthony Joshua fought him and beat him. This is one of the reasons Whyte is rated ahead Wilder.

Shut the Zap up! You know nothing about the sweet science.

Deontay Wilder didn't avoid tough bouts. He also fought tougher opponents.

He knocked out the Cuban boxer, Luis Ortiz twice in a beautiful way.

You must understand that has a champion, you must fight all fights thrown on your way. Boxing is a business and as such one should be careful not to spoil your records.

he avoided tough fights most of those he fought are no bodies. Ortiz is almost 40( 50 real age) with hypertension yet he almost KO wilder. Never tried to unify, avoided Klitschos, fought Bums

Guy you know Nothing about boxing. Muhammad Ali who was regarded as the greatest boxer of all time was a light heavyweight fighter compared to the heavyweights we have today.

Your weight category has nothing to do with who's the best in boxing.

You can be regarded as the best even if you're a middleweight champion. Take for instance, Floyd Mayweather. He is regarded as the best boxer of this generation having won all his fights.
