Tyson Fury Targets Third World Title Reign After Climbing To No. 1 In WBC Rankings

Tyson Fury has climbed to the No. 1 position in the WBC heavyweight rankings as of June 2026, following his return to the ring in April after a year-long absence, during which he defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov over 12 rounds in London. Fury has publicly stated his intention to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, with a highly anticipated fight against Anthony Joshua expected in November 2026. The WBC heavyweight title is currently held by Oleksandr Usyk, though the championship picture may shift as the WBC has ordered Usyk to face mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel, who holds the WBC interim title.
