In new heavyweight rankings released by Ring Magazine, Anthony Joshua is now 7th after his devastating loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

Joshua was third in the Ring Magazine listings and was looking to cement his status as a top dog with a win over Dubois but was dropped four times enroute to a devastating defeat.

As a result, the former two-time world champion has now dropped significantly to seventh position, with Dubois overtaking him.

Dubois now sits in second position, only behind Tyson Fury who sits in first position and current unified champion Oleksandr Usyk who is the Ring Magazine champion.

Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang sit in third and fourth respectively, with Agit Kabayel and Martin Bakole in fifth and sixth all ranked above the declined Joshua.

Parker and Zhang have both recently picked up wins over Deontay Wilder to boost their position, while Parker sits above Zhang after beating him in December last year.

Kabayel beat Frank Sanchez to send him rocketing into the top ten, while Martin Bakole stunned American prospect Jared Anderson to continue his ascent.

AJ sits marginally in the top ten ahead of Dubois' other most recent victim Filip Hrgovic, while Efe Ajagba and Justis Huni round off the list.

Joshua and Dubois will rematch on December 21, with 'Dynamite' potentially in line to face the winner for the undisputed crown, though a rematch with AJ remains an alternative option.

It’s a BRIEF MEDICAL SUSPENSION.

And a NORMAL PROCEDURE in boxing.

It’s to ensure a boxer DOES NOT  return to the boxing ring  too soon after a defeat.

So let’s NOT blame it on our Nigerian upbringing where everything is linked to  ones  RELIGION, TONGUE or TRIBE!

He is STILL ranked. Although he has dropped in rank because he LOST.

The suspension is to ensure he does  NOT return to the boxing ring too soon. It’s CALLED a medical suspension.


They do not  want him returning to the ring too soon, just to up his ego and prove a point to family, friends OR his fans.

It’s nothing to do with Culture, Tribe of Tongue!
