FRANK WARREN has revealed who his top five heavyweight boxers are in the world right now, and brutally snubbed Anthony Joshua.
The boxing promoter sat down with Unibet Lowdown and was quizzed about who he believed to be the best five heavyweights in the world at the moment.
And he had no room for two-time world champion Joshua as he simultaneously lavished praise on Tyson Fury.
He said: “I would say obviously Tyson.
“I think he’s far, easily the number one.
“I think the number two is (Oleksandr) Usyk. I think number three is (Deontay) Wilder.

“I’ll then say Joe (Joyce).
“And then I’ll say – and you would probably think yeah you would say this – but I also think Daniel (Dubois).”
His snub of Joshua comes after he and Fury were unable to agree terms in order to fight on December 3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In his autobiography, Gloves Off, Fury revealed how his desire to give fans “a moment of sporting history” sparked his retirement U-turn.

But Fury has instead drafted in Derek Chisora to complete a trilogy bout against him on the date.
Once that is out of the way, Fury could then face off against Usyk in a heavyweight unification bout for the ages that would see all four belts on the line for the first time in the four-belt era.
