One of the biggest boxing stars of the 21st century is Anthony Joshua, the knockout artist who dominated the Heavyweight division during his peak.

Anthony Joshua shot to fame in 2012 as part of Team GB, when he became the face of British boxing with his gold medal performance at the London 2012 Olympics.

He turned pro and went on a tear in the Heavyweight division, landing knockout after knockout en route to becoming the world Heavyweight champion.

As he prepares to make a comeback in 2026, here is everything you need to know about Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua’s age, height, weight, and reach

Anthony Joshua was born on October 15, 1989, making him 35 years old as of September 2025. He was born in Watford, England, and has one brother and two sisters.

He became an Olympic gold medalist at the age of 23 when he beat Roberto Cammarelle in the final fight, becoming a Super Heavyweight champion in his home country.

Joshua turned professional a year later at 24, starting his journey to become the world Heavyweight champion, which he first won from Kevin Johnson in 2015 as a 26-year-old with just 13 fights to his name.

Joshua stands at six feet six inches tall, making him one of the larger fighters in the Heavyweight division. He is known for his stature in boxing, regularly weighing in at over 250 lbs for fights. He also has a reach of 82 inches (208 cm).

Anthony Joshua’s Instagram and X/Twitter

Joshua has one of the biggest followings of any boxer on social media and has an astonishing 17 million followers on his Instagram anthonyjoshua.

His account mainly features photos and videos of himself, either on various travels around the globe, promoting products, or training for a return to the boxing ring.

Joshua regularly announces and promotes his upcoming fights via his social media. One of the first places he announced his fight with Dubois was on his Instagram account, so keep an eye out there for any future fight announcements.

He has another 3.4 million followers on X (formerly known as Twitter) on the account anthonyjoshua. However, he has seemingly abandoned this platform, having tweeted just once since 2019.

That was a photo of Joshua with Francis Ngannou in 2024, one day after their fight that saw Joshua knock Ngannou out in the second round.

Anthony Joshua’s net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Joshua has a net worth of $80 million, owing to some huge paydays from his boxing career.

He has earned a reported fee of more than $70 million twice in his career, for two fights that took place in Saudi Arabia.

The first was his rematch with Ruiz, where he reclaimed his world Heavyweight title while pocketing an additional $72 million purse for his troubles.

Meanwhile, Joshua’s biggest payday ever was for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, where he was paid a reported $75 million to fight in the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah in a second consecutive loss.

With rumors that Joshua could make upwards of $100 million for a reported fight with Jake Paul, his net worth could double with just one night of work in the boxing ring.

Anthony Joshua’s boxing record

Joshua boasted an undefeated record for six years as he captured the world Heavyweight championship. He went unbeaten, with numerous knockout victories, between 2013 and 2019, beating big names like Wladimir Klitschko and Joseph Parker in the process.

AJ went 22 fights unbeaten before a shock defeat to Andy Ruiz broke his undefeated streak when he was knocked out in their 2019 bout.

He avenged that loss, but subsequent defeats to Oleksandr Usyk (twice) and Daniel Dubois have sullied his once-impressive boxing record.

His 28-4 record includes some of the toughest opponents in boxing, although one man has been conspicuously absent from a fight with AJ so far.
