    Boxrec’s pound-for-pound list
    Only one Brit makes the list – Chris Eubank Jr – and some feel he does not deserve his ninth-placed placing.
    The middleweight recently enacted revenge on Liam Smith by stopping his countryman in the tenth round.
    He lost to Smith in their first bout in January yet one unbeaten fighter is nowhere to be seen in the top ten – Tyson Fury.
    In fact, the Gypsy King is shockingly placed at number 48, some way off the likes of Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

    That pair also miss out on the high places with Usyk ranking 15 and AJ 31.
    That means Fury is ranked as the third-best heavyweight – which has left fans bewildered.
    One slammed the list saying: “What a joke 💀”
    Another added: “That list is now a joke because of his [Eubanbk] inclusion. I’m not even being hyperbolic.”

    Usyk has two points victories over Joshua and believes Wilder’s feared power is the difference between the two.
    He said on his YouTube channel: “It would’ve been a phenomenal match. Wilder’s unique line’s if Wilder clips, one’s unable to fight back.
    “I’m going with Wilder on 60 per cent for the contest. He’s a puncher, and Joshua could be set upon.
    “Deontay’s able to send someone flying when he touches one. They usually fly.”

    AJ most recently knocked out Robert Helenius, 39, in August after seven rounds and looked on course to face Wilder, 37, next.

    And Hearn revealed Joshua, 34, could instead be back in an interim bout in December after targeting March or April for a fight with Wilder.
    But AJ could also turn his attention to IBF mandatory challenger Filip Hrgovic, 31, as an alternative.

    Fury, 35, and Usyk, 36, have signed for an undisputed title decider in Saudi Arabia.
    So Hrgovic is in line to fight for the IBF “interim” belt which guarantees him a shot at the champion.
    Or he will inherit the full title if the victor of the unification was to be stripped or vacated.
    Hearn wants Joshua in a build-up fight before moving onto either Wilder or an IBF title shot.
    He revealed:”I think realistically December/January will be the date for his next fight, and then he’ll fight Deontay Wilder or he’ll fight for the IBF world heavyweight title.
    “He wants to become heavyweight champion, he wants to fight Deontay Wilder, he wants to fight Tyson Fury.
    “But he also wants to stay active, and that’s what he’s asked me to do to try and get him in the ring as soon as possible.”

    But in response, Tyson, 57, said to TNT Sports: “This is business, and he understands.”

    Anthony Joshua called out by Andy Ruiz Jr for trilogy fight but ex-champ says Eddie Hearn is too ‘traumatised’

    ANDY RUIZ JR has called out Anthony Joshua to a trilogy fight – but he fears Eddie Hearn will be too “traumatised” to allow it. Ruiz shocked the world in June 2019 by flooring AJ four times on the way to winning the unified heavyweight titles in round seven.

    But for the rematch six months later in Saudi Arabia, he was comprehensively outboxed over 12 rounds.
    The trilogy decider between the two has since failed to materialise and Ruiz has put it down to promoter Hearn.
    He told ESNEWS: “I don’t think they want to fight. I think Eddie Hearn is already traumatised.
    “He doesn’t want to match him against anyone good unless he’s trying to get his money and leave.”

    Ruiz, 34, confirmed he is willing to fight Joshua, also 34. on away soil and vowed to redeem himself having weighed 20 STONE for his rematch loss.
    He said: “Of course, I’ll go over there.
    “Remember, when I fought him in the ring, I was overweight. I forgot everything that I was doing with the rematch.”
    Ruiz had been negotiating a blockbuster with ex-WBC champion Deontay Wilder, 37, but he was accused of pricing himself out.

    Although he hit back: “I’ve been stuck on the shelf, hiding myself. A lot of people don’t know the situation I’ve been in and my problems.
    “That’s one of the reasons I wanted to come over here to show my faith, and I’m ready to get back in action.
    “By next year, I want to fight three or four times. I want to get a fight in. We’re still waiting for Wilder.
    “I’m telling everybody that I never asked for $25million. That’s bulls**t. Tell him to show me the proof of where I told him that I wanted $25million.”
