Under the real name Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, the British boxer of Nigerian heritage developed a devoted following thanks to his harsh matches, which included the now-famous slugfest at Wembley Stadium in April. Joshua finished his career with a perfect 20 knockouts from 20 fights.

When Joshua faced the resurgent former champion Klitschko of Ukraine, who together with his older brother Vitali dominated the heavyweight class for almost a decade, he was floored and almost halted by the ferocious assault.
