The Ring Magazine has put out they’re updated Heavyweight Rankings after the Wilder-Fury fight.
Before the fight, Joshua was ranked #1, Wilder was ranked #2, and I believe that Fury was ranked #7.
Joshua has stayed at #1, Fury has moved up 5 spots replacing Wilder at #2, and Wilder drops one spot to #3.

Number 1 baby. Deal with it, live with it, accept it and maybe you should even try to embrace it. Or dont, what ever. It dont matter to me what you think, the proof is there in the money and the belts and the resume of Anthony AJ Joshua. Its undeniable.
You can call him what you want but your just a salty hater. The facts speak for themselves. AJ 1, Fury 2 and Wilder has been on shaky ground since the moment he cherrypicked the shell of Luis Ortiz. Wilder needed people giving him extra time in that one. And its only got worse since. Next time he dares to step up to the real fighters he will be gone and forgotten.
Nobody cares about any rankings alt, lmfao... And Joshua is a ****en coward. Stiff stoic ass...
Joshua is a ***** alt. No balls...

We have a lineal champ now.
Yes Rexy we do... and even in the internet age where so many believe if they say it, it must be so... there are truths and falsehoods. WHat is so disturbing is how people make the same damn mistakes in logic and in the big picture regarding what a title is, how it is taken, what it is for, and when how it operates.
So lets wearily go through this again for the sake of those who may be confused:
a) The title of lineal does not involve drug testing, character refences, bannings, etc... it is inherited and accepted based on the participant who beats the best, the "man who beats the man."
b) There is no causation regarding the title and retirement. Retirement is a separate variable that may hypothetically cause more than one lineal champion. This has never been a problem because, whether Lennox Lewis comes back, when Fury is fighting, or not, does not change lineal status. So yes, there could be more than one lineal hypothetically. The fact that this has never been a problem does not seem to occur to skeptics.
c) NO organization has the authority to declare anything about the lineal! The fans understand the lineal and it belongs to them...it is the purest expression of boxing glory...You become the best by beating the best, with no state sanctioned organization necessary to pollute the title. IT DOES not matter who chooses to recognize, or not recognize, the title...thats what makes it work.
Finally, in this situation we are in, Fury as the inherited lineal, has the authority of the fans, to claim a right unify the titles. Joshua and Fury also have this right...It is not a matter of who has the authority to claim to be the force of unification...What matters is who will exerscize that right!!!!!
Thats right, Joshua at number 1. Wilder still hanging on to number 3 that is the joke. He keeps showing us he is a fake and doesnt belong there and the belt doesnt belong round his waist.
Joshua is a ***** alt. No balls...
Actually, no! Common misconception. Loads of casuals make the same mistake.
yeah, just because you put your head in the sand and ignore it because it doesn't fit your argument doesn't mean it's not true.
Trash list... Joshua #1...!!!??? Lmao

I would put usyk ahead of bum squad wilder. bum squad just isn't any good.
Lol you cannot be serious. He hadn’t had a fight at heavyweight. This is as dumb people who think aj should be dropped to number 3 based on a draw
Yes ring had the world title vacant with AJ number 1, Wilder number 2 and Fury number 3 before the fight. After the fight AJ remained number 1 but Fury advance to number 2 and Wilder was dropped to number 3 so Ring thinks Fury won and ranked him as if he did win. I agree with Ring's heavyweight rankings.
Accurate rankings
Agree.
Hey, you new The Ring staff, (I’ll bet they check this page now and then), it’s a shame you are now referring every alphabet title bout as a ‘world’ title fight. You lose credibility. Do you want us traditionalists to turn to the TBRB instead?
