World Boxing Organization (WBO) has published on its official website the ranking of the strongest heavyweight boxers as of February 2026.

Undefeated took first place Moses Itauma (13–0, 11 KOs) – The Brit won the WBO Inter-Continental belt last August when he knocked out his countryman Dillian Whyte in the first round.

WBO International title holder Filip Hrgovych (19–1, 14 KOs) took second place. The representative of Croatia last entered the ring in August 2025, defeating the British David Adele by unanimous decision of the judges.

The top three were closed by Zhang Zhilei (27–3–1, 22 KOs) from China, who did not hold official fights for almost a year. In February 2025, he suffered an early defeat by knockout from his opponent from Germany, Agit Kabayel.

The world champion in the heavyweight division is a Briton Fabio Wordley (20–0–1, 19 KOs), who originally held the interim belt, but was later promoted due to Oleksandr Usyk’s relinquishment of the WBO title.

The representative of Ukraine does not have the right to be in the rating, as he holds championship titles according to other versions (WBC, WBA, IBF).

Famous super heavyweight Viktor Vykhrist (17–1, 11KO) entered the rankings and placed on the 12th position after a convincing victory in Germany. In January, the Ukrainian knocked out an opponent from North Macedonia, Todorce Tsvetkov, in the first round.
