OLEKSANDR USYK remains atop Ring Magazine's heavyweight rankings – leaving fans confused.

Usyk currently holds the Ring Magazine belt having won it against Anthony Joshua in 2021 thus securing his place at the top.

But some supporters spoke out to claim it should be Tyson Fury sitting ahead of the masterful Ukrainian.

One confused fan said: "How is Usyk No 1?"

Another added: "Looks about right but if fury and usyk fights #1 and #2 flipping."

One argued: "Strange when you know top of the list would be koed by number 2."

Elsewhere, former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, 37, is the second ranked contender with Joshua, 33, one place behind.

Zhilei Zhang, 40, is fourth following his April win over sixth-placed Joe Joyce, 37, and the two rematch this Saturday.

Andy Ruiz Jr, 34, is fifth despite not fighting since last September, beating No7 ranked Luis Ortiz, 44.
