No announcement yet.
Who do you consider the Heavyweight "champion"

Joshua is the current champion as far as I am concerned. Tyson has the most legitimate claim but has been out of the ring so long and gained so much weight that he's essentially retired.

Tyson Fury publicly announced his retirement. If the ring title was a lineal title, it would have become vacant when Fury retired. That is how lineal titles work. The ring title is the Oscar De La Hoya title that has nothing to do with lineal.
Same reason Ward/Kovalev is for the ring title. Benefits HBO. Screws Showtime. Even though Stevenson is clearly the lineal champion.
The ring title is a propaganda tool, nothing more. The second the ring title was purchased by a promoter was the second you should have stopped respecting it.

Furry is lineal champ and Ring champ, he hasn't retired he's just facing charges for cheating hence why I refuse to acknowledge he's the the lineal champ, the Ring belt will be removed through inactivity or his confirmed guilt when his tribunal finally comes to an end, upon showing he unfairly cheated Klitschko and Joshua should be bestowed the title due to him having beat him.

So in that regard, Fury beat Klitschko fairly.
But Deontay has the most important belt, he's the longest reigning champion and he's undefeated. There is no concrete answer between Denotay and Joshua. They have to fight each other.
It's still Fury. If he doesn't come back within the next few months like he said, the title goes to AJ.

Furry is lineal champ and Ring champ, he hasn't retired
