Yahoo News Heavyweight boxing rankings: Top 10 WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO fighters and world champions
Tyson Fury has joined Anthony Joshua back at the summit of heavyweight boxing after beating Deontay Wilder for the WBC title.
Fury put on a stunning display as he secured a seventh round victory over Wilder in Las Vegas.
His win sets up the mouth-watering possibility of a unification showdown with Joshua, who outpointed Andy Ruiz Jr in Saudi Arabia in December to reclaim the IBF, WBA (Super) and WBO straps.
There are a couple of mandatory titles defences on the horizon for Joshua however with Oleksandr Usyk (WBO) and Kubrat Pulev (IBF) waiting for their shots.
Wilder meanwhile has the option to trigger a rematch clause against Fury later this year.
