Tyson Fury has dropped two places in the WBO heavyweight rankings after losing to Oleksandr Usyk for a second time last month.

The Brit, 36, headed into his rematch with Usyk in Saudi Arabia just before Christmas at the top of the WBO’s rankings. But his failure to overcome the Ukrainian has seen him drop down to third in the pecking order.Oleksandr Usyk's promoter says undisputed heavyweight world championship  title fight with Tyson Fury will happen on December 23 | Boxing News | Sky  Sports

While Fury has dropped on the WBO list, he is still No.1 with the WBC. He isn’t ranked at all with the WBA, though, as he ponders his next move following a second career defeat.

Fury and his team, including promoter Frank Warren, were furious after Usyk was given the win on points.
