Tyson Fury has been ranked as the best heavyweight boxer in the world after his stunning destruction of Deontay Wilder.

Ring Magazine's rankings have put Fury on top of the list of heavyweights, knocking his British rival Anthony Joshua into second place.

The pair are due to meet in two showdowns in 2021 in one of the most highly-anticipated fights in British history.

Fury, also known as the "Gypsy King", remains unbeaten after 31 professional bouts.

Joshua was beaten by outsider Andy Ruiz Jr last summer, but got his revenge in the Clash on the Dunes in Saudi Arabia in December.

Ring Magazine's top 10, including a third British heavyweight, are in the gallery above, in reverse order. To see the next heavyweight, just swipe.

Mane points for safe home colouring
  • Natural and grey hair takes colour differently than chemically treated hair
  • Taking hair from a dark to a light colour should involve a slow transition through warmer stages of colour
  • When choosing a colour (especially a lighter tone), allow for a natural lift of warmth
  • Most modern hair colours are technique-based, in that they require a confident hand and taught skills
  • If you decide to be brave and go for it, seek professional advice and use a semi-permanent colour
