Joshua is the third, where is Usyk? The rating of the world’s strongest heavyweights has been updated

World Boxing Council (WBC) has published an updated rating of the strongest boxers in the super heavyweight division – four representatives of Great Britain are in the top five.

WBC Silver title holder Lawrence Okolie (23–1, 16 KOs) is in first place, having played three matches in the Royal division. The 33-year-old Briton last appeared in the ring in December 2025, when he defeated the representative of Ghana, Ebenezer Tetteh (RTD 2).

Former world champions Daniel Dubois (22–3, 21 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (29–4, 26 KOs) are ranked second and third, respectively. Dubois was defeated by Ukrainian Oleksand Usyk in July, and Joshua stopped American Jake Paul in December.

Undefeated Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) is ranked fourth and continues to prepare for his next fight. The talented Briton planned to enter the ring in January, but the fight with Jermaine Franklin was postponed due to Moses’ injury.

Two boxers from Ukraine hold titles according to the version of the World Boxing Council – Oleksandr Usyk (24–0, 15 KOs) is a full world champion, while Andriy Novitskyi (15–0, 11 KOs) holds the WBC International belt.

Germany’s Agit Kabael (27–0, 19 KOs) is the owner of the interim title, which he won in February 2024, defeating China’s Zhang Zhilei.
