FULL LIST: Nigerian Boxer Efe Ajagba breaks into world’s top 10 heavyweights
Nigerian heavyweight boxer Efe Ajagba has been ranked among the top 10 fighters in the world by The Ring magazine.
In its latest rankings updated on Thursday, Ajagba secured the No. 10 spot in the prestigious list, widely regarded as the sport’s most respected independent ratings.
The 30-year-old, who holds a professional record of 20 wins, one loss, and one draw with 14 knockouts, joins an elite lineup.
The heavyweight division is currently led by Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk, who holds the champion’s position, with Britain’s Tyson Fury ranked first among contenders.
New Zealand’s Joseph Parker and Germany’s Agit Kabayel occupy the top three positions.
Ajagba’s inclusion comes after a string of impressive performances that have reignited his world title ambitions.
His most recent victory solidified his status as one of the leading contenders from Africa in the heavyweight division.
The Ring magazine, founded in 1922, updates its ratings monthly based on results, performance, and track record, with input from boxing journalists and historians worldwide.
The development makes Ajagba the only Nigerian currently ranked in the heavyweight top 10.
