Mini bio
How it started.
Joshua grew up in Watford and started boxing at 18 after his cousin introduced him to Finchley ABC. Before the ring became his career, he briefly studied music technology and worked as a bricklayer.
The breakthrough.
Silver at the 2011 World Championships helped put him on the international stage. At London 2012, he won Olympic super-heavyweight gold, then turned professional in 2013.
From Olympic gold to world titles.
He beat Charles Martin in 2016 to win his first professional world title, the IBF heavyweight belt. His 2017 victory over Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley became another defining night, ending with an eleventh-round stoppage. After losing to Andy Ruiz Jr. in 2019, he beat him in their Saudi Arabia rematch that December to regain his world titles.
Beyond fight night.
Fans can follow Joshua’s own video messages and collaborations as well as his fights. His Under Armour session with Paddy Pimblett brought boxing and MMA together through training and a conversation about the mindset behind their careers.
