Mandatory Credit: Erich Schlegel-USA TODAY Sportsīritish boxing phenom Joe Joyce has spent the least amount of time in the professional ranks than any fighter on this list. Joe Joyce Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Joe Joyce (GBR) on the podium after the super heavyweight boxing competition during the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games at Riocentro – Pavilion 6. His heavyweight debut saw him score a 7th-round TKO win against Chazz Witherspoon, and he was victorious in his last bout, beating Dereck Chisora by unanimous decision.
Upon successfully defending his titles against Tony Bellew, Usyk made the decision to move up to the heavyweight division.
After unifying with the WBC belt after beating Mairis Briedis in January 2018, he became undisputed champion when he beat Murat Gassiev in July of that same year. In just his 10th professional fight, Usyk won his first world title beating Krzysztof Glowacki for the WBO Cruiserweight title. Oleksandr Usyk joined the heavyweight division in 2019 after dominating the cruiserweight division for five years. However, there are two factors that separates him from Ortiz: A world championship run and better quality wins. Like Luis Ortiz, the only two losses of Joseph Parker’s career (Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte) were in the two biggest fights of his career. Despite this, Ortiz is due another big opportunity and it would not be surprising if he was able to take advantage. This time around, it was a straight right hand from Wilder than dropped Ortiz and he was out for the count. The second fight was much more definitive for Ortiz leading on all three judges cards going into the seventh round. However, Wilder overwhelmed Ortiz with an abundance of punches ending with an uppercut that sent him down leading to the referee waving off the fight without administering a count. In the first fight, Ortiz gave Wilder his most hotly contested fight of his career with the fight close on the scorecards going into the 10th round. Ortiz was competitive in both fights and could have potentially won had it gone to the scorecards but it was not to be.
