In the latest ranking, Joshua secured his No.1 position in The Ring Magazine’s rankings, behind Tyson Fury who’s still The Ring Magazine champion.

The ‘Gypsy King’ claimed the status after he defeated Deontay Wilder during their blockbuster showdown in February.

Anthony Joshua could finally go-ahead with a heavyweight unification clash with Tyson Fury in 2021 as mandatory IBF challenger Oleksandr Usyk has hinted he is willing to step aside.

After the match, Joshua celebrated his glory at the ringside with the undefeated retired American icon as they exchange a few ideas.
