Queensberry Promotions flex their heavyweight muscles
Queensberry Promotions heavyweights dominate the top 10
Queensberry Promotions, spearheaded by Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren, flexed their heavyweight muscles at the sight of this month's Ring Magazine world ratings.
Eight of the top 10 spots are occupied by Queensberry signings, displaying the English promotions dominance in the division. Not only that, but half the list is made up of British boxers, which is another proud fact considering this weight class has largely been dominated by American boxers throughout history.
The blue ribbon division is presently ruled by Ukrainian undisputed champion, Oleksandr Usyk, who has beaten three of the names on the list, twice each - Fury, Joshua, Dubois.
Heavyweight top 10
1. Tyson Fury
2. Joseph Parker
3. Agit Kabayel
4. Daniel Dubois
5. Anthony Joshua (Matchroom)
6. Filip Hrgovic
7. Fabio Wardley
8. Zhilei Zhang
9. Martin Bakole (BOXXER)
10. Moses Itauma
What's next in the heavyweight division?
Currently, WBO Interim champion Joseph Parker is first in line for a shot at the king, with WBC Interim titlist Agit Kabayel waiting next, and WBA Interim beltholder Fabio Wardley further back in the queue, but there is also a WBA Regular title fight taking place between Kubrat Pulev and Michael Hunter in October which could affect the line of contenders.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh has the bargaining power to make any fight happen and he has declared his intention to complete the trilogy between Usyk and Fury in 2026.
Just last weekend, he stated that he wants to give Moses Itauma a shot at the undisputed titles after his one-round demolition of Dillian Whyte, however, the 20-year-old humbly admitted he needs more rounds under his belt before he takes on the biggest names in the division, and is reportedly lining up a fight with durable American Jermaine Franklin, who took both Joshua and Whyte the distance over 12-rounds.
