The brilliant Ukrainian proved that nothing is beyond his incomparable skills as he outpointed Fury in a thrilling fight to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Usyk now holds all of the world titlesafter turning round a fight that he appeared to be losing conclusively seven rounds in. The 37-year-old showed incredible skill and...
Fury suffered the first defeat of his storied professional career in that brilliant fight against Usyk, but he lost little in defeat. ‘The Gypsy King’ boxed brilliantly for the first half of the bout, and then showed his trademark powers of recovery to somehow survive that traumatic beatdown, and knockdown, in Round 9. Next up is the rematch in Dec...
Dubois produced a quite astonishing performance to knock out Anthony Joshua in front of 96,000 stunned fans at Wembley Stadium to prove beyond doubt that he is now for real. The critics who called him ‘a quitter’ after those losses to Joe Joyce and Oleksandr Usyk have been forced to eat their words in spectacular style in the last 12 months with Du...
Joshua is again at the crossroads of a glittering career after a devastating loss to Dubois in his bid to become a three-time world heavyweight champion. AJ was in trouble early and never really recovered from a heavy knockdown at the end of the first round. He was on wobbly legs and eating leather for most of a quite incredible evening as Dubois l...
The former WBO champion continued his renaissance by recovering from two knockdowns to outpoint the giant Chinese star Zhilei Zhang on that Joshua vs Ngannou show in Riyadh. Parker was again smart and sharp as he boxed to the plan laid down by trainer Andy Lee, and he duly followed up that win over Deontay Wilder with another upset victory. There i...
Zhang bounced back in style from that decision loss to Joseph Parker with a convincing demolition job on the fading force that is Deontay Wilder in Riyadh. The Chinese giant came in nine pounds lighter than he had against Parker, and he dominated ‘The Bronze Bomber’ en route to a fifth-round stoppage victory. With a pair of wins over Joe Joyce and ...
Kabayel has been the division’s biggest revelation in the last six months - claiming upset wins in Saudi over giant Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov and now Cuban slickster Frank Sanchez. His brilliant knockout of Sanchez on the Fury vs Usyk undercard earned him the spot as mandatory contender for the WBC heavyweight title, and it was richly deserved. I...
The man from Congo who resides in Scotland looked like the second coming of one George Foreman as he burst the bubble of hot prospect Jared Anderson on that massive Riyadh Season card in Los Angeles in August. The performance was utterly conclusive, and now Bakole says he’s happy to go to China to fight Zhang. We’d love to see that slugfest. Next f...
The ‘The Big Uzbek’ could be the next big thing in heavyweight boxing - once he decides to go all in on the pro game. And that should be now after the man who has already built a 14-0 record in the paid ranks claimed a second Olympic gold medal at Paris 2024. We await his next assignment with much anticipation.

The former unified heavyweight king has fought only three times since losing his titles to Joshua in their Saudi rematch in late 2019. Inactivity has cost the Californian what was once a top-five spot in our rankings, but he is in the top 10 thanks to the exits of Wilder and Hrgovic following their damaging defeats on that Hearn vs Warren card in R...

- Rocky Marciano. Getty Images. A staggering 49-0 record — 43 of which by knockout — and counting wins over the likes of Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore, Marciano was among the most feared heavyweights of all time.
- Tyson Fury. TGB Promotions. Fury has combined pure boxing skills with underrated punching power to a supreme level amidst his growing dominance. And both components of his fighting game have been on display in all three of his fights against Deontay Wilder — one of boxing’s biggest punchers of all time — and his unanimous decision points win over Wladimir Klitschko.
- Joe Louis. Getty Images. Twenty-five consecutive title defenses more than imprinted Louis as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Max Baer, Max Schmeling, James J. Braddock and Jersey Joe Walcott all felt Louis’ wrath.
- George Foreman. (Getty Images) Scoring a pair of second-round TKOs of Joe Frazier and Ken Norton are a sample size of how terrifying Foreman was in his era.
