In the world of boxing, the rankings picture can get a little muddled. There are multiple titleholders and different organizational rankings. We’ve taken the approach of simply identifying who we think are the 10 best fighters in each weight class.

- Anthony Joshua (2)
- Deontay Wilder (3)
- Andy Ruiz (4)
- Luis Ortiz (5)
- Dillian Whyte (6)
- Alexander Povetkin (7)
- Kubrat Pulev (8)
- Joseph Parker (9)
- Dereck Chisora (-)
Dropped from the rankings: Adam Kownacki (10)
Here’s a shout out to Adam Kownacki for being the only ranked fighter in action this month. Unfortunately, he lost and therefore falls from the rankings. Kownacki suffered a TKO in the fourth round at the hands of Robert Helenius. Dereck Chisora takes Kownacki’s spot at No. 10.
