Anthony Joshua is a British boxer, born in Watford, England on 15 October 1989. He excelled at sport as a child, but did not take up boxing until 2007 at the age of 18. Just 4 years later he earned a silver medal at the AIBA World Boxing Championships, before taking home gold at the 2012 London Olympics. Joshua turned professional a year later and has since proved himself to be one of the world’s top heavyweights, winning the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO belts.
