Fans expressed dissatisfaction with Ring Magazine’s recent heavyweight rankings following last Saturday’s ‘Day of Reckoning’ card. The updated rankings stirred debate and discontent among some of the fans. Deontay Wilder dropped in rankings drastically, while Anthony Joshua climbed up the list. There were questions raised about the position of other fighters as well.

Many fans believed that some partiality was involved while making the list, as even Tyson Fury was accused of being a bit on the higher side. Meanwhile, the position of Joseph Parker could be placed higher, according to some fans. Especially after his recent performance against Wilder. So, let’s take a peek into the Ring Magazine rankings.

Have a look at the updated Ring Magazine heavyweight rankings

In the recent Ring Magazine heavyweight rankings, Oleksandr Usyk holds the top spot, preceding Tyson Fury. This set the stage for their upcoming undisputed fight scheduled for February 17. Anthony Joshua, Zhilei Zhang, and Joseph Parker secure the next three (second, third, and fourth) positions, respectively.

Notably, the fifth-ranked contender is Filip Hrgović, a Croatian heavyweight, who impressed fans with a first-round KO on the ‘Day of Reckoning’. The remaining slots in the top ten feature Frank Sanchez, Jared Anderson, Joe Joyce, and Agit Kabayel. However, some fans expressed skepticism about Deontay Wilder’s inclusion, with him lingering in the 9th position.
