This article was written at the request of boxing fans. After professional boxing entered the 90s of the last century, with the advent of the torrent era in Eastern Europe, a large number of "behemoths" appeared, so many boxers who won heavyweight world boxing kings were taller and heavier than the past world boxers.
Today, we will review the ten heaviest world boxing champions in the history of professional boxing. It needs to be stated in advance that the statistical standard is the weight of the battle when obtaining the title of World Champion, and the order of introduction is in reverse order, which hinders the length of the article to introduce the fifth boxer ranked tenth to sixth today.
Tenth: Vitali Klitschko

Although he regrettably did not participate in the Olympic Games, six free-form world championships, one world boxing championship runner-up, and one world military games boxing champion still make him a pivotal place in the history of Ukrainian sports.
After entering the professional boxing world, Vitaly Kritschenko and his brother Vladimir Krychchenko won 40 World Boxing Championships and ruled the professional boxing heavyweight for more than 10 years.
After defeating Herbie Hyde on June 26, 1999 to win the WBO Heavyweight World Boxing Championship for the first time, Vitaly Klitschenko's weight has remained at 245 to 250 pounds. It can be said that Vitaly Klitchchenko is very strict about his body management, but on September 26, 2009, when Vitaly Klitchenko was forced by WBC forced challenger Chris Areola at the Staples Sports Center in Los Angeles, usa, he weighed 252 pounds, the largest weight in his career. Vitaly Klitchenko could have arguably hanged Chris Areola in the match at the time, forcing Chris Areola's coach Ramirez to give up the game in the tenth round.

In 2001, Samuel Pitt moved to professional boxing. As a professional boxer from Africa, Samuel Pitt paid little attention to his body management, so his weight increased throughout his professional boxing career. When he first started playing professional boxing, Samuel Pitt still weighed less than 230 pounds, but by the time he beat Oleg Maskaev in six rounds on March 8, 2008 to win the WBC Heavyweight World Champion Gold Belt, Samuel Pitt weighed 250 pounds. In just the past seven months, Samuel Pitt has weighed 253 pounds in October 2008 when Samuel Pitt and Vitaly Klitchenko were fighting the World Champion, where Samuel Pitt was beaten by TKO in the eighth leg.

Eighth: Anthony Joshua
Maximum weight to play in a world championship in a professional career: 254 pounds (144.1 kg)
The experience of Anthony Joshua does not need to be repeated too much, the London Olympic boxing champion, the former WBO, IBF, WBO heavyweight world boxing champion. With strong muscles and a height of nearly 2 meters (1 meter 98), boxing fans often ignore his weight. In fact, Anthony Joshua was not thin at all.
On October 29, 2017, Anthony Joshua weighed 254 pounds when he successfully defended the WBA, IBF and IBO heavyweight World Champion titles at TKO in The United Kingdom in Cardiff, England.
But in the years that followed, Anthony Joshua began to take the agile route, and he began to give up some of his strength in order to gain more mobility. In the last three games (second-game defeat to Andy Ruiz Jr., defeat to Kubrat Pleev, and loss to Oleksander Usik), Anthony Joshua's battle weight has been hovering around 240 pounds, which seems to be his ideal weight.
Seventh: Lennox Lewis

On June 21, 2003, Lennox Lewis and Vitaly Klitchenko played a thrilling match, and although Lennox Lewis eventually won the match, it was mainly because Vitaly Klitschenko was seriously injured. In that game, Lennox Lewis's weight was already significantly out of control, reaching a career-high of 256 pounds. Shortly after that, Lennox Lewis chose to announce his retirement and leave the boxing scene.
Sixth place: Jess Willard
