Nigerian-born British heavyweight boxer, Anthony Joshua has experienced a significant drop in the heavyweight rankings after his loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
Recall that Anthony Joshua was previously ranked third in the Ring Magazine Rankings.
Earlier this month, the former two-time heavyweight champion aimed to solidify his standing as one of the division’s best with a victory over Dubois.
However, the British boxing star faced a challenging bout, ultimately being dropped four times and suffering a stunning knockout in the 5th round, leading to his plummet to seventh place in the latest rankings. 
Dubois has now surpassed Joshua, securing the second position behind the current unified champion, Oleksandr Usyk.
The updated rankings also see Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in third and fourth place, with Agit Kabayel and Martin Bakole in fifth and sixth place respectively, all ranking higher than Joshua.
Meanwhile, the upcoming heavyweight showdown between Usyk and Tyson Fury has sparked discussions about a potential rematch between Dubois and Anthony Joshua, with a tentative date set for early next year.
Despite the one-sided outcome of the September 21 bout, Joshua has expressed his determination to continue fighting, leaving many to wonder when the 33-year-old boxer would hit the ring again.
