These are the top 10 British heavyweights in the world right now
After such a big and dramatic year for British heavyweights, BBN decided to end 2021 with an up-to-date list of the top 10 world-ranked heavyweights from the UK.
Despite the frustration of not seeing Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua lock horns in an undisputed clash in the summer, there was plenty of drame in their respective fights to make up for it. Fury was downed by Wilder to then dominate the contest to win via a stunning KO in round 11, and Joshua was completely outboxed bu outsider Usyk on home turf to lose his status as a world champion for a second time.
Both Britons are expected to fight again in March/April next year, which should hopefully be followed by an undisputed showdown afterwards, regardless of who is in possession of the baubles.
