“The world champion in the heavyweight division is ranked second according to the Boxing Scene portal”, — write: sport.ua
The first place is held by the WBO, WBA and IBF world champion in the second middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) Terence Crawford. The American boxer last entered the ring on September 13, when he defeated the Mexican Saul Alvarez and won four titles.
The day before, it became known that the World Boxing Council took away the WBC belt from Terence due to his refusal to pay commissions after his fights.
The former absolute champion of the world in super heavy weight took the second position Oleksandr Usyk. The representative of Ukraine decided to give up the WBO title due to his unwillingness to fight with the British Fabio Wordley.
It is expected that the Ukrainian will meet with the American Deontay Wilder to conduct a voluntary defense of the WBC belt.
Naoya Inoue was in the top three – the Japanese “Monster” remains the absolute world champion and is preparing for the next match, which will take place on December 27 in Riyadh. His opponent will be the Mexican Alan David Picasso.
