DEONTAY WILDER is still ranked No1 heavyweight in the world by the WBC, despite having not won a fight since November 2019.
The Bronze Bomber has lost his last two bouts to champion Tyson Fury and has been inactive since October last year.
But in the WBC's latest rankings he remains top of the tree when it comes to contenders – only behind retired champ Fury – with the Gypsy King yet to vacate his belt.
Long-time former champ Wilder's last win came against Luis Ortiz in 2019, in what was his TENTH title defence.
Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk are nowhere to be seen in the WBC's rankings.
This is because neither have fought under the WBC umbrella, with their upcoming rematch set to be for the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO belts.
