The Glittering Boxing Prowess of Anthony Joshua
A prominent figure in the British boxing scene, Anthony Joshua, clinched his first major title by winning the 2012 Olympics' super heavyweight gold medal. He bagged his first world title in 2016, after defeating American Charles Martin via a second-round KO, taking home the IBF title. Later that year, he also secured the WBA and IBO titles.
Joshua clinched victory again in 2017, defeating then-WBA champion Wladimir Klitschko. He successfully defended his title a few times until losing to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June 2019, causing him to relinquish the IBF, WBA, and WBO belts. However, in the rematch in December 2019, he reclaimed his titles. In 2021 and 2022, he again lost his titles to Oleksandr Usyk. With Dubois, he now has the opportunity to reclaim his status as the IBF heavyweight champion.
