Anthony Joshua has moved up one position to fifth in the WBC rankings despite having yet to confirm plans for his heavyweight return.
AJ has not fought since coming up short in his bid for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk back in August, which saw him drop out of the title picture for the first time in several years. The British heavyweight was then handed a WBC ranking at No.6 as it appeared that he would be accepting a clash with long-term rival Tyson Fury to fight for the organisation's world title.
However the fight collapsed, with Joshua now likely to make a comeback in 2023 against a number of potential fighters including Dillian Whyte and Deontay Wilder. Despite his return currently being uncertain, during the latest WBC convention, Joshua was placed in fifth position in the heavyweight ratings which represents a move of one place up from his previous place.
