Anthony Joshua has risen in the rankings of Ring Magazine after his powerful win over Francis Ngannou.
AJ quickly defeated the MMA superstar in the ring with a brutal second-round knockout earlier this month.
The ex-heavyweight champion knocked down his opponent in the first round and then again before finishing him with a powerful right hand.
Joshua has won four consecutive fights against Ngannou, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Jermaine Franklin after losing back-to-back to Oleksandr Usyk.
His recent strong performances have lifted him from third to second place in the Ring Magazine heavyweight rankings.
Joseph Parker has also moved up the rankings after defeating Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang.
Tyson Fury mocked the new rankings on social media, saying: “I’m the craziest MF out there.
“I relinquished the Ring belt so I could win it three times.”
Oleksandr Usyk remains the Ring magazine titleholder, having initially won the title in his second victory over AJ in 2022.
