Anthony Joshua Recent Wins

Anthony Joshua went 22 fights unbeaten until he lost to Andy Ruiz Jr. in June 2019. He immediately got his own back on the talented American, defeating Ruiz Jr. in the rematch later the same year. A victory against Kubrat Pulev followed in 2020 before his back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022.

Joshua returned to winning ways in April 2023 with a unanimous decision over Jermaine Franklin at London's O2 Arena, before stopping late replacement Robert Helenius by KO in August 2023. He then closed out the year in style on the Day of Reckoning card in Riyadh, finishing Otto Wallin in five rounds in December 2023.

March 2024 brought one of the most talked-about wins of his career, a stunning second-round knockout of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia, a result that re-established Joshua as a major threat at world level.

Most recently, Joshua returned from a 15-month layoff to face YouTuber-turned-pro Jake Paul in Miami on the Netflix-streamed card in December 2025, stopping Paul in the sixth round in front of a global audience of 33 million viewers, one of the most-watched boxing events ever.

Significant Boxing Bouts in Anthony Joshua’s Career

The defining bouts of Joshua's career span both his peak and his setbacks. He was at his imperious best in the 2017 win over Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium, taking the WBA title by 11th-round TKO in front of 90,000 fans in what's still regarded as one of British boxing's greatest nights. The dominant rematch win over Andy Ruiz in Diriyah in 2019 reclaimed his belts, while his masterful display against Kubrat Pulev at Wembley Arena in 2020 reminded everyone of his finishing power.

The back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) and 2022 (Jeddah Superdome) cost Joshua his unified titles and reshaped the heavyweight landscape.

September 2024 saw another defining night, and another setback, as Joshua challenged IBF champion Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium. In front of more than 96,000 fans, Dubois produced the upset of the year, dropping Joshua multiple times before ending the fight in round five. The loss took Joshua's professional record to 28-4 at the time and sent him into the longest layoff of his career.

His return against Jake Paul in December 2025 was as much a commercial event as a sporting one, but the sixth-round KO win put AJ firmly back in the picture for the biggest fights in the division.
