WBC Heavyweight ratings – July 2019: Dillian Whyte bids to cement #1

Dillian Whyte remains at the top of the World Boxing Council heavyweight ratings as the Briton gears up to face Oscar Rivas this weekend.

Whyte battles Rivas for the opportunity to challenge Deontay Wilder after rematches with Luis Ortiz and Tyson Fury are done and dusted.

Should Whyte win, a massive all-UK clash with Fury could be on the cards for the late summer of next year.

Effectively, the forthcoming bouts will act as semi-finals for an eventual mandatory contest next year.

Fury remains in second, whilst Anthony Joshua is third. Stablemate Michael Hunter breaks the voluntary cut-off.

Both Joshua and the former cruiserweight are rated subject to joining the Clean Boxing Program.

Making up the top ten are Joseph Parker, Adam Kownacki, Alexander Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev, Agit Kabayel and Rivas.

Joe Joyce should move up further following his win over Bryant Jennings. Derek Chisora can do likewise with a win over Artur Szpilka this Saturday.

Robert Helenius and Jennings could be out off the list completely by July.
