Like the fighter’s size, the talent in the heavyweight division has never been short, keeping fans on the edge of their seats for over 100 years. The 200lb weight class brings what fans come to see in boxing, knockouts.
Given how this division has seen another classic war over the last weekend, now is a better time than ever to look at the most exciting heavyweight boxers of the 21st century.
5) Alexander Povetkin
A knockout artist that clocks couldn’t stop, Povetkin enjoys his recent retirement knowing how hard of an impact he made on the faces of opponents and on his division overall.
A former world champion with a world-class resume, the Russian’s lust for a KO was not defied by his age as he scored the knockout of the year in 2020 against Dillian Whyte at 40 years old. The Olympic gold medallist garnered a commendable 25 knockouts in his 40-fight career.

4) Anthony Joshua
Once and arguably still the UK’s golden boy. Anthony Joshua has captured the hearts of fight fans along with a savage highlight reel over the last decade.
Like the last entry, AJ graduated from the amateur scene with an Olympic gold medal and went from strength to strength before a couple of hiccups in the pro game in recent years.
Regardless of where he lies among the top tier of heavyweights now, Joshua has been at the helm of some of the most captivating British boxing moments with his power speaking for itself scoring 22 knockouts in 26 fights.
3) Deontay Wilder
A former champion who possesses one of the hardest right hands that heavyweight boxing has ever seen, Wilder’s persona may not be the most likeable but his undeniable power will have any boxing fan invested.
The Alabama slammer was the WBC titleholder for 4 years and has now cemented his legacy in history albeit on the losing end of a thrilling trilogy with a later entry (you know who). Wilder has never been the most fundamentally sound boxer but knowing that one clean punch from him can turn a fight around makes his fights a great spectacle.
2)Tyson Fury
The Gypsy King etched his name into the history books this last weekend with another knockout victory, defending his newly-won WBC title. The last five years has been the most turbulent any boxer will ever see for Fury yet through it all he has put on incredible performances.
The undefeated, two-time world champion has recently coupled his middleweight-like movement with hard hitting Kronk style punches courtesy of coach Sugarhill Steward. This has seen him elevate his game and turn him into a mean knockout artist that most fight fans have fallen in love with.
THE BOXING GAME YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
1) Lennox Lewis
The man who beat every opponent he ever stepped in the ring with, Lewis was one of the front runners of the heavyweight division on the turn of the new century. With a debilitating 1-2 and a master of the basics, Lewis’ skills took him to the top, making him the most recent undisputed champion of his weight class.
Fighting a top draw caliber of opponents, The Lion blessed us with memorable wars against legends such as Evander Holyfield and Vitali Klitschko. He tasted victory in both of these outings and retired with an impressive record of 41 (32KO) – 2 – 1.
