Top five British heavyweights?


The heavyweight division is booming with Dillian Whyte on the verge of facing Lucas Browne, live on Sky Sports on Saturday, before Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker's world title unifier next week, live on Sky SportsBox Office.
So, who's the top dog in Britain?
Anthony Joshua should be No 1. He's got the titles at the minute. I should be No 2. I'm the highest ranked heavyweight across the board, outside the world champions. I've been actively fighting. I've fought everyone there is for me to fight in Britain. I've never turned down a fight. My world ranking should be higher as well. I'm ranked across the board - IBF, WBO, WBC, WBA.
Tyson Fury is a former world champion, but the reason why I rank him at No 3, he hasn't been active. He hasn't fought for two years.
Tony Bellew has only had one heavyweight fight. He beat David Haye but he's still not a proper heavyweight. Haye just lost to Tony Bellew and has been fairly inactive as well. He has to prove himself again against Bellew on May 5.
Haye is a hard one because you just don't know anymore. But he's shown, and proved he can perform. He couldn't do much with an injured Achilles.
'll put Whyte at No 5 to give me more credibility! He's got good stamina but, unfortunately, he's under pressure to perform [against me] so he might take chances - I look forward to that.
