Ever since he first captured the WBA interim title in 2016, Dmitry Bivol was seen as a smart, technical boxer with potential to become one of the best in the light heavyweight division over the next decade.

The 34-year-old Russian avenged his only loss in his high-profile rematch to climb up the top 10. Plus, there's a new No. 1 atop the list.

Comment: It was agreed that Bivol would have to take more ‘risks’ to beat Beterbiev. But did he actually take fewer, as he won undisputed gold?
