The undisputed Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua OBE is a British professional boxer. He is a two-time former unified world heavyweight champion, having held the WBA, IBF, WBO, and IBO titles twice between 2016 and 2021.
In 2009, AJ won the Haringey box cup and re-performed the same triumph the succeeding year. Also that year, he emerged the winner of the ABA championship which he spectacularly did in bout 18 as a juvenile boxer then. Prodigious and astonishing in some perception, Joshua rejected £500,000 to go white-collar that year. He later mooted that renouncing the bid wasn’t difficult because he didn’t engage in boxing for dough. The year after, he triumphed in the same tourney.
In 2010, Joshua’s boom in the ring favored him a shot on the GB boxing team, and downstream that year, he championed the GB amateur boxing championship, which he did by trouncing Amin Isa. He held the British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles at a regional level from 2015 to 2016.
What religion is Anthony Joshua?
Joshua was raised as a Christian but follows no particular religion, according to an interview he did with the British news agency, the Press Association, a few years ago. Nevertheless, many on Twitter vented anger at him for associating himself with Islam. He believed we are all one and bound to love each other, but religion is dividing the world.
