Boxing world champions 2020: Every division title holder from heavyweight to flyweight

Tyson Fury is world champion once again after taking the WBC heavyweight from Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas.

The Gypsy King defeated the Bronze Bomber by TKO in the seventh round in a truly dominating performance from the Brit.

Anthony Joshua remains the closest we have to a unified world champion across 17 weights in the sport.

Oleksandr Usyk​ held that distinction before his decision to vacate the cruiserweight belts and move up to the heavyweight ranks earlier this year.​

While there is a host of 'regular', interim and diamond title belts regularly confusing matters, the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO each have their own definitive world champion.
