The balance of power in boxing has shifted! Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua have fallen from grace
Two of the biggest stars in world boxing, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, failed to make it into the top 10 of Ring Magazine's updated heavyweight rankings. The absence of the two British boxers, who have been away from the ring for a long time, caused a stir in the sporting world.

FURY FALLS
Tyson Fury had not returned to the ring since his loss to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024. This prolonged inactive period led to the boxer, nicknamed “Gypsy King,” being completely dropped from the rankings. Fury's failure to announce a clear plan for his future is also noteworthy.
