Anthony Joshua, MBE (born 15 October 1989). He is the current IBF heavyweight champion, having previously held the British, Commonwealth and WBC International heavyweight titles.

As an amateur he won a gold medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2012 Olympics, and silver at the 2011 World Championships. As of June 2016, Joshua is ranked the world’s fifth best heavyweight boxer by The Ring magazine, and currently boasts a 100% knockout ratio.

As of October 2017, Joshua is ranked as the world’s best active heavyweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and BoxRec, and second by The Ring. Known for having exceptional punching power, he has finished all his fights to date by knockout. Joshua is the second British boxer, after James DeGale, to win both a gold medal at the Olympics and a world title by a major professional sanctioning body, as well as being the first British heavyweight to do so. He is also the second boxer, after Joe Frazier, to win a world heavyweight title whilst still reigning as Olympic champion at the top weight.

As of November 2017, Joshua has the tenth longest combined title streak in modern heavyweight boxing history at five title bouts. He also became the ninth heavyweight in the modern era to successfully defend the unified title.
