Tyson Fury's sixth round knockout win over mandatory challenger Dillian Whyte on Saturday night cemented his place at the top of DAZN's heavyweight rankings.
But while it's clear the WBC world heayweight champion is the best fighter in boxing's most glamorous division, there is set to be some movement in the rankings following Deontay Wilder and Whyte's loss to the 6' 9" giant from Morecombe.
So, the DAZN team of writers and editors combined their opinions and shared passion for the sweet science to put together a top 5 based on records, opponents faced, momentum and quality of fights.
Here's the end result. How would you have the top 5 looking?
1. Tyson Fury

His win over Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium ensured that Tyson Fury remains the world's number one heavyweight, but with the 34-year-old hinting at retirement, his time at the top of the ladder may soon come to an end.
2. Oleksandr Usyk

The quality Usyk displayed in taking the WBA, WBO and IBF titles from a top-three heavyweight in Anthony Joshua verified his heavyweight credentials and only a shorter resume in the division than Fury stops him rising higher... for now.
3. Anthony Joshua
Joshua's resume as a pro ensures he is the highest-ranked non-champion, but the disheartening title loss to Usyk leaves him outside the top two looking, but with a rematch against the Ukrainian scheduled for the summer, a win would see Joshua break into the top two behind Fury.
4. Deontay Wilder
Wilder's performance in suffering his second pro defeat (both to Fury) drew deserved praise, but he will need to reverse this momentum with some wins against fellow top heavyweights to avoid a gradual slide down the charts.
5. Joseph Parker

The former world champion from New Zealand was 3-for-3 in 2021 fights, and now he looks to push on and put himself in contention for a world title shot. A summer clash with Britain's Joe Joyce and a win would certainly be a huge step forward for the former WBO world heavyweight champion.
Notable mentions
While Oleksandr Usyk may be ranked number two in DAZN News' latest heavyweight rankings, he still remains above Tyson Fury in the pound-for-pound rankings after unifying all the cruiserweight world titles.
Former unifed champion Andy Ruiz Jr. just misses out on the top five, but a significant win within his next few fights could see the Mexican become a major player on the heavyweight scene once again.
Another name that is missing from the top five is Joe Joyce who is likely to face Joseph Parker in the summer, if the former Olympian does get past Parker, Joyce would likely take Parker's spot at the very least
