“Wordley is now the organization’s number oneβ, β write: sport.ua
In the updated heavyweight rankings from the WBA, British super heavyweight Fabio Wordley unexpectedly became the number one, jumping to this position from sixth place.
Wordley was ahead of Tyson Fury, Martin Bakole and others, although the number one ranking does not yet mean that the boxer becomes a mandatory contender for Oleksandr Usyk’s title.
The WBA, in addition to the main champion Usyk, has the “regular champion” Kubrat Pulev, so it is not yet clear who will become the mandatory contender.
