Anthony Joshua ranked No.1 despite two defeats as Tyson Fury misses out

Anthony Joshua has been ranked No.1 by The Ring magazine with rival Tyson Fury missing out after giving up his belt.

'AJ' suffered his second consecutive defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in September, which has left out of the heavyweight world title picture for the first time in several years. Meanwhile, Fury declared he had retired from the sport after his successful title defence against Dillian Whyte, but has now announced he will return on December in Cardiff.

Fury's on-off retirement from the sport appears the reason he has been left out of the Ring Magazine rankings with the likes of Whyte and Luis Ortiz making the top 10 ahead of him in fifth and sixth respectively. Joshua tops the pile having recently fought for the title belt against Usyk, which was put on the line for their sequel after the 'Gypsy King' ditched the title.
