ANTHONY JOSHUA HEIGHT, WEIGHT & REACH

Anthony Joshua operates in the heavyweight division, the same division he has fought in since turning professional.

He stands at 6ft 6ins (198 cm) and typically tips the scales around around the 245lbs - 250lbs mark.

Joshua's reach is about 82ins (208 cm).

ANTHONY JOSHUA RECORD

28-4 (25 KOs)

Anthony Joshua boasts an impressive 28-4 professional record, winning 25 of those 28 fights by way of KO / TKO.

The hard-hitting heavyweight was once deemed the best blue-riband division fighter on the planet, steamrolling through his opponents to establish a perfect 22-0 record.

However, he was left stunned by unheralded Mexican Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019, succumbing to the first defeat of his professional career, relinquishing his grasp on the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO titles.

He avenged that loss with a dominant points success later that year, but has since found the going tough against former cruiserweight king Oleksandr Usyk, being beaten twice by the pound-for-pound Ukrainian great.

Wins over Jermaine Franklin, Robert Helenius, Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou secured another world title opportunity, but Daniel Dubois was in inspired form, dropping the two-time champion of the world four times en-route to a fifth round KO.

LAST FIVE FIGHTS

• September 2024 - Lost to Daniel Dubois by KO (5/12)
• March 2024 - Beat Francis Ngannou by KO (2/10)
• December 2023 - Beat Otto Wallin by Retirement
• August 2023 - Beat Robert Helenius by KO (7/12)

ANTHONY JOSHUA NICKNAME

Anthony Joshua's 'AJ' moniker is a simple play on his initials.

WHERE IS ANTHONY JOSHUA FROM?

Anthony Joshua was born in Watford, England, but carries Nigerian ancestry from both his mother and father.

WHO IS ANTHONY JOSHUA'S PROMOTER?

Anthony Joshua is promoted by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing, with the former heavyweight champion holding a long-term agreement with the London-based organisation.

Since turning professional Joshua has been solely represented by Hearn, and that isn't expected to change any time soon.

WHO IS ANTHONY JOSHUA'S TRAINER?

Anthony Joshua is currently trained by Ben Davison, who previously worked with British heavyweight rival Tyson Fury.

Davison, who was a key part of 'The Gypsy King's' team several years ago, also works with Leigh Wood and Devin Haney, and linked-up with Joshua last year for the first time.

At the start of his professional career, Joshua was trained by Rob McCracken, capturing world titles for the first time, before ending that partnership in favour of working with numerous US-based coaches including Robert Garcia and Angel Fernandez.

ANTHONY JOSHUA WALK-ON SONG

Anthony Joshua isn't officially synonymous with a single walk-on song, instead preferring to mix up his entrance tunes.

His previous decision to walk out to The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army' proved popular amongst fight fans, with many still sing 'Oh Anthony Joshua' to the tune of the track.

The heavyweight has previously made his ring walk to songs from Stormzy, Notorious B.I.G. and the thee song of film classic, The Godfather.

ANTHONY JOSHUA NET WORTH

As of 2025, Anthony Joshua has a reported net worth of around £250m, with the bulk of that being made up by staggering fight purses.

His showdown with Daniel Dubois in 2024 was believed to have earned him around £55m alone, with other heavyweight title showdowns in the past pocketing him at least £10m.

The former Team GB star has also held a long-term sponsorship agreement with Adidas, whilst other major brands, such as Wow Hydrate, have endorsement deals with him.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR ANTHONY JOSHUA?

Anthony Joshua has a multitude of options available to him currently. There have been whispers of bouts with Deontay Wilder and YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul.

However, there is one fight that fans want to see, an all-British bout between Joshua and Tyson Fury.

The Gypsy King is currently retired, but he has made a habit of retiring and returning a short while later throughout his career, and the finances of a fight with Joshua would surely be too good to turn down.
