Anthony Joshua drops down to fifth in updated heavyweight rankings.

Joshua will face Oleksandr Usyk later this year in a rematch for the unified heavyweight titles, but has dropped below Tyson Fury's cousin Hughie in the WBA rankingsAnthony Joshua has dropped to No.5 in the World Boxing Association's heavyweight rankings, below Tyson Fury's cousin Hughie.

The two-time world champion will fight for the governing body's world title when he rematches Oleksandr Usyk later this year, but that hasn't stopped them putting him in fifth place on their monthly rankings.

Joshua will compete for the WBA, WBO and IBF titles against the unbeaten Usyk, as well as the less sought after IBO belt.

But should he lose, it will be a long road back to the WBA title, after he was ranked behind Daniel Dubois, Michael Hunter, Robert Helenius and Hughie Fury.

Joshua has beaten out Deontay Wilder for his place, with the American sitting below him in sixth, while the list is rounded out by Agit Kabayel, Arslanbek Makhmudov, Zhan Kossobutskiy and Martin Bakole.

Andy Ruiz Jr has been removed from the list as a fight with Tyson Fury edges closer, although Fury's WBC belt won't be on the line if that is the case.
