Boxing world champions 2019: Every division title holder from heavyweight to flyweight
Anthony Joshua once again holds three of boxing's four major heavyweight world titles following his superb victory over Andy Ruiz Jr.
After outpointing the Mexican-American in Saudi Arabia, Joshua is once again the closest we have to a unified world champion across 17 weights in the sport.
Oleksandr Usyk held that distinction before his decision to vacate the cruiserweight belts and move up to the heavyweight ranks earlier this year.
While there is a host of 'regular', interim and diamond title belts regularly confusing matters, the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO each have their own definitive world champion.
