The list of the best, as before, is headed by Terence Crawford
Authoritative magazine The Ring provided updated rating best boxers in the world out of weight category (P4P).
WBO/WBA/IBF/IBO world heavyweight champion Alexander Usik retained its place in the top 3 over the month since the publication of the previous edition of the ranking.
The only change in the top ten is the rise of Artur Beterbiev (immediately to fifth place), who recently defeated Callum Smith to defend the WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight belts. In turn, Jess Rodriguez dropped out of the top 10.
Usik fought his last fight on August 27 in Wroclaw, Poland. The Ukrainian knocked out Daniel Dubois in the 9th round and defended his championship titles.
On February 17, Alexander will fight with Tyson Fury for the title of absolute heavyweight champion. The fight will officially take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Initially, the fight was planned to be organized on December 23 in Riyadh. However, it later became clear that Tyson would not have time to prepare for this time after the fight with Francis Ngannou at the end of October.
