Alexander Povetkin has climbed above Dillian Whyte in the latest Ring Magazine's heavyweight rankings following his KO victory.

Povetkin viciously stopped Whyte in the fifth round of their main-event bout at 'Fight Camp' earlier this month.

And the veteran Russian has moved above Whyte to No.3 after capturing the WBC interim title. Whyte falls to No.4 after losing his WBC mandatory status.

Fury, meanwhile, is set to defend his WBC belt against Wilder in December with an undisputed showdown against Joshua in the works.

The unified champion will defend his titles versus mandatory challenger Pulev later this year.

Povetkin and Whyte will run it back before the end of the year.

Ruiz Jr, who hasn't fought since his defeat to Joshua last year, could face Chris Arreola in his ring return.

Luis Ortiz, Joseph Parker and Oscar Rivas have not got a fight lined up.
