Newly-crowned two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury has made a massive leap in the Pound for Pound Rankings thanks to his weekend victory in Las Vegas.
Fury dominated Deontay Wilder, battering the American in seven painful sessions.
Before the clash, Wilder was considered the best top-division fighter on the planet. Therefore, Fury’s unbelievable performance took on a greater significance.
WBN has decided to recognize this fact with a rating of number three for the lineal king of his division.
Being undefeated and returning from the brink of suicide after losing ten stone in weight also contributed to the decision.
Mexican superstar Canelo remains number one. At the same time, Vasyl Lomachenko stays at two.
Wilder, who has some rebuilding before the third battle with Fury this summer, drops ten places to number twenty on the list.
World Boxing Super Series winner Naoya Inoue is at four, with Errol Spence at five.
Manny Pacquiao, Gennadiy Golovkin, Terence Crawford, Oleksandr Usyk, and Juan Estrada comprise the rest of the top ten.
