Parker is now two spaces behind Anthony Joshua, whose IBF title he is mandatory challenger for.
Grigory Drozd (No 3) leaves the rankings, having not fought in a year. Denis Lebedev moves into his position after battering Victor Ramirez in two rounds. Ramirez drops from 4th to 8th due to the punishing loss.
