Anthony Joshua Ranked #1 on Ring Magazine Heavyweight Champion.

The British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua, following his victory over Kubrat Pulev his mandatory challenger, has moved to number one position in the latest Ring Magazine Heavyweight Ranking.

Recall, Joshua stopped Pulev in round 9 of their epic bout at the 02 Arena in London on December 12 to defend his WBA, WBO and IBF titles.

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.

The Legendary Floyd Mayweather was among the celebrities cheering AJ to triumph in the stands after travelling all the way to London to watch the match against the Bulgarian.

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