Oleksandr Usyk has ascended to the pinnacle of the heavyweight division following his victory over Tyson Fury. The Ukrainian boxer secured his status as the undisputed champion in the heavyweight division for the first time since Lennox Lewis achieved the feat in 1999, clinching a split decision victory over Fury in their highly anticipated clash in Saudi Arabia.

Usyk’s historic achievement not only cements his place in the record books but also establishes him as the reigning king of the division, despite lingering doubts about his size after transitioning from the undisputed champion at cruiserweight.

This sentiment is echoed by Ring Magazine, who have unveiled their latest top ten rankings following the showdown, with Usyk claiming the top spot.

Despite relinquishing his WBC title and undefeated record to ‘The Cat’, Fury maintains the highest position below the champion and is slated for a chance at immediate redemption in a sequel scheduled for October.

Anthony Joshua completes the top three as he sets his sights on challenging the top two fighters, while Joseph Parker follows closely after his commanding victory over Deontay Wilder.
