Anthony Joshua

Black boxer from Britain Anthony Joshua knows no defeat in his professional career. The list of fights with his participation has long exceeded fifty, the man lost only three rivals, and even then in his distant youth, when he entered the ring as an amateur athlete. Joshua had a chance to speak at the Olympic Games, where he won a gold medal.

Anthony was born in England to an international family. Mom is from Nigeria and dad is Irish. Until it was time to go to school, the baby lived in his mother's homeland, and then returned to Foggy Albion.

Sport appeared early in the boy's biography. Anthony was initially fond of football - he drove the ball almost at a professional level. Thanks to endurance and speed, he easily covered 100 meters in 11 seconds. After school, the aspiring athlete and football player went to earn money at a brick factory in his hometown of Watford, and at the age of 17 he went to conquer the English capital.

Joshua grew up as a pugnacious boy; by his youth, his restless temperament only grew brighter. To channel the energy in the right direction, the cousin sent Anthony to boxing. I didn't even think about the championship, I just gave it my best in training.

But little by little I became imbued with this sport to the depths of my soul, all the more the talent for boxing was revealed. Among the idols of the novice strongman were the stars of the rings Muhammad Ali and Conor McGregor. The man later recalled in an interview:

The novice boxer tried his hand with serious rivals only at the age of 18. The first memorable fight was the meeting with Dillian White, with whom the man will still meet in the future, but already in the professional arena. The kickboxer fought for the first time, but managed to knock down Anthony - no one had ever won the Nigerian before.

In the amateur ring, a year later, the boxer took the Haringey Cup, then snatched the ABAE championship of England from his rivals, and in 2011 brought silver from the World Championship in Azerbaijan. Magomedrasul Majidov managed to surpass the English wrestler.

The silver medal became a pass to the 2012 London Olympics. Here the Briton performed brilliantly, equaling the points with Roberto Cammarelle, but still got the gold.

For the first time as a professional Anthony entered the ring in the fall of 2013. There was a fight with Emanuele Leo, who did not know a single defeat. In the first round, the English athlete knocked out his opponent. Then a series of fights with boxers, who had not yet become famous, followed. Six fights ended with a knockout. 2014 was marked by a victory over the solid former British champion Matt Skelton with a piggy bank of successes. In a spectacular duel, the wrestler managed to get up after the knockdown, but Joshua again struck the opponent.

Later Anthony met with eminent representatives of boxing. The young man ruined the career of Kevin Johnson - in 2015, the American was overtaken by an early defeat for the first time. But Joshua took the honorable second line of the WBC rankings. In the fall of the same year, he met with Gary Cornish - no one could defeat the athlete from Scotland either, but the British opponent managed to knock him out too.

And in December he took revenge on Dillian White in a rematch. The fight turned out to be unforgettable, it almost came to a massive brawl, because Joshua was too carried away by the attack. In the seventh round, the Briton won, giving White the first defeat in his career.

Just three months later, in April 2016, Anthony Joshua took the IBF heavyweight title from American Charles Martin, who was about to defend the title. Once again, Anthony became the first to defeat the debunked champion.

The next rival in the ring was also from the undefeated cohort. In the summer of 2016, Joshua fought Dominic Brezil to defend the championship belt. As a result, two knockdowns as proof of superiority.

The Briton also managed to prove the inviolability of the won title for the second time, now in a fight with Mexican American Eric Molina, who became famous for his victory over champion Deontay Wilder. The opponents looked closely at each other for a long time, not daring to seriously attack. But in the third round, Molina was hanging on the ropes.

Russian and Ukrainian fans were looking forward to the end of April 2017 - a fight with Vladimir Klitschko was planned in London, who by that time had lost the title of champion. Three titles were played at once: IBF in the hands of Anthony, WBA and IBO.

The spectacular fight delighted boxing fans, later the battle will be called the event of the year. Starting on a relaxed wave, he quickly gained momentum, dazzled with fencing, aggressive streaks, the athletes exchanged knockdowns, and then Joshua completely seized the initiative. This was Klitschko's last fight - the man left boxing.

Once again, Anthony defended the belt in a fight with Cameroonian boxer Carlos Takam. In ticket sales, this fight became the record holder among the ever held boxing shows. And for the first time Joshua received a fabulous sum of $ 20 million for his participation in the battle.

Both athletes were injured here - Anthony had a serious nose injury, and Carlos had an eye cut with a massive bruise. The Briton knocked out his opponent, surpassing the record of Mike Tyson himself. Joshua managed to win ahead of schedule for the 20th time in a row, while Tyson stopped at 19.

The handsome dark-skinned man has an army of female fans. It is understandable: an invincible champion, and besides, the owner of an enviable external data - a boxer 198 cm tall and weighs 103 kg. However, the young athlete's personal life is not yet very successful. Joshua is single-handedly raising a son, who was born in 2015 by dancer and yoga specialist Nicole Osborne. The relationship was difficult, the couple quarreled, parted, reconciled again.

As a result, Anthony took his son, and his failed wife bought an apartment in the capital of England and broke up with her. The press claims that the boxer does not have a girlfriend yet.

In addition to boxing, the man is interested in tennis, plays chess and other board games, reads a lot. Fans spy on the idol's life on Instagram, where Joshua regularly maintains a page.

In addition, the British athlete is trying his hand at business - in 2016 he presented to the residents of London a new gym BRX London, and a little later he launched the production of supplements for athletes.

At the end of March 2018, Joshua met in the ring with Joseph Parker, a boxer from New Zealand, the WBO title holder.

The fight, which has the status of a unification fight, took place in Cardiff. Financial terms are negotiated in favor of Anthony - the opponent gets 35% of the income.
