Ajagba’s recent run of wins has reignited his world-title push.
He has a professional record of 20 wins, one defeat, and one draw, with 14 knockouts.
He has proved that he has the strength and toughness to handle bigger fights.
Oleksandr Usyk still wears the champion’s belt, while Tyson Fury sits atop the contenders.
Alongside Joseph Parker and Agit Kabayel, Ajagba now shares the stage with proven world-level opponents.
This ranking matters beyond pride as the Ring compiles its list each month from fight results, recent form and expert input, and the slot gives Ajagba fresh leverage as he and his team plan the next steps toward a title shot.
Ajagba also stands out as one of the few Nigerians to crack the heavyweight top 10 in recent memory.
Local fans and promoters will welcome the boost, and we should expect more attention on his next outing and growing debate about who he should face next.
