  • Is this the correct order of the Heavyweight titles?

    From most to least prestigious, reading from top to bottom.

    Lineal - Tyson Fury
    RING - Tyson Fury
    WBC - Deontay Wilder
    WBA Super - Anthony Joshua or Wladimir Klitschko
    IBF - Anthony Joshua
    WBO - Joseph Parker

    The brigga fight is by default because of fres' court ruling. Id change WBA to super and have it aj and klit.

    You'll probably find alot of people who hold the WBC more prestigious aswell.

    Synonymous belt with that HW division

      The WBA champion will be Joshua or Klitschko. When there's a super champ the WBA regular is a Mickey Mouse belt not a real champion.

        Right okay, that makes sense I forgot about the super. I'll edit it into the first post.

          Also agree that this Super and World champion lark from the WBA diminishes the prestige a bit, making the WBC the top title. Few years back WBA/WBC were about level.

            Tyson Fury is going to be stripped on May unless he fights a top 5 opponent by the ring

              How are you defining prestige?

              Fury is not lineal champion in an official capacity is he? What with his retirement and drug problems. I assume the belt is vacant.

                Fury is no champ in my eyes. Guy hasn`t been active since Klitschko fight in november 2015.

                  Well Tyson Fury will have been out of the ring 18 months by May. I don't think that's reason to strip him, just because people don't like him. There have been lineal champions in history with longer periods between fights who weren't stripped.
