JAKARTA - Tyson Fury's heavyweight is not the best at English pound for pound. Anthony Joshua was not even included in the top five lists released by the BoxRec website.

The site, which commonly assesses the record for professional and amateur boxers, actually has former lightweight boxer Liam Smith, 34, as the country's number one boxer for pound.

Smith last boarded the ring in January and managed to secure victory over Chris Eubank Jr. It was 33rd win of the 37 professional fights he had.

Meanwhile, unbeaten heavyweight champion Fury, 34, is in second place, followed by Leigh Wood in third. Wood has just won the WBA featherweight title in a rematch against Mauricio Lara.

Josh Taylor, who has just lost for the first time in New York to American boxer Teofimo Lopez, ranks fourth. He was followed by Sunny Edwards.

Anthony Joshua, 33, is sixth in front of super unbeaten featherweight champion Joe Cordina. Meanwhile, John Ryder filled eighth place after the defeat to Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez in Guadalajara recently.

Furthermore, Jack Catterall is in ninth place and Eubank occupies the most tailed position in the top ten. The middleweight division boxer had to postpone the rematch against the injured Smith.

However, there are still talks for their reschedule in the nearest September. In addition, there are also efforts for Eubank to fight Conor Benn in Abu Dhabi.

Benn failed a series of drug tests before the game in the catchweight 157 match last October. He was struggling to clear his name on the British Anti-Doping agency in order to get a license back in England.
