The ranking of the best boxers in the world in 2024

The British publication GiveMeSport has published the ranking of the best boxers in the world for 2024. Unusually, the first place on the list was taken by the Brit Daniel Dubois. This year he defeated Filip Hrgovic and knocked out Anthony Joshua in the fight for the IBF world champion title, the publication reports.

Following Dubois, in second place is the Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk. In May of this year, he became the first absolute world champion in the heavyweight division of the 21st century, defeating Tyson Fury by unanimous decision. It is worth noting that Fury did not make it into the top 10. Recall that Usyk and Fury are preparing for a rematch scheduled for December 21 in Riyadh.

In third place in the ranking is Artur Beterbiev. The fourth place was taken by American Jesse Rodriguez, and in fifth place is the absolute world champion in the junior lightweight division, Japanese Naoya Inoue.

It was previously said that Usyk became the first absolute world boxing champion in the heavyweight division.

Former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury is very confident ahead of the rematch against Oleksandr Usyk.
