Boxing’s Latest Pound-for-Pound Rankings
Oleksandr Usyk is on the move up the top-10 list after Saturday’s convincing victory against Anthony Joshua.
Oleksandr Usyk is on one of boxing’s most impressive runs.
Four years after establishing himself as the world’s top cruiserweight—a three-year stretch that saw Usyk win the World Boxing Super Series and become the division's first undisputed champion in the four-belt era—Usyk, who picked up a second straight win Saturday over Anthony Joshua, has cemented his place as one of boxing’s top heavyweights. He has been boxing’s road warrior, collecting wins in Latvia, Russia and the U.K. on his way to becoming one of the most accomplished fighters of this era.
