TYSON FURY unveiled his top five heavyweight boxers - with Anthony Joshua, a Brit, in third.
It's not surprising that Fury placed himself at the top, but many would disagree with this.

In their February 2020 rematch, the Gypsy King defeated Deontay Wilder to complete one of the greatest comebacks in boxing.
This saw Fury win WBC and Wilder suffer his first pro loss.
Before the third meeting in which the Gypsy King defeated the Bronze Bomber in a classic fight, the British boxing legend ranked his top five heavyweights.
Despite the one-sided beating that they had in their second meeting Fury still ranked Wilder above Joshua in the pecking orders, with the American at No2.
Fury and AJ were set to meet in 2022. However, Joshua failed to keep his end of the bargain and lost to Oleksandr Uzyk in September.
Prior to this Joshua ranked third with Usyk at fourth.

It's possible that Fury has changed his mind.
Dillian Whyte occupied the fifth spot on the list, Fury recollected in a chat to the WBC.
Later this year, the Gypsy King will be able to take on the Brixton brawler.
The WBC has given both fighters until the end of play on February 21 to sign their respective parts of the agreement.
Wilder had always ignored Whyte when he was holding the belt.
He is now ready to take his chance at glory.
