3. Anthony Joshua

Olympic gold medalist, Anthony Joshua holds a unblemished record so far in his young career, going nine fights without going past the third round. He has 9 wins and all are by knockout.

Already a hot name in the UK, Joshua is signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. Joshua shows qualities that remind you of another English gold medalist, Lennox Lewis.

To be compared with a heavyweight great is a great way to start a young career. Already sparring with the division’s best, Wladimir Klitchsko, Joshua has been on a fast track to stardom. Boasting a record that holds decent opposition on his KO list, Joshua has proven he isn’t afraid of stepping up in competition.

Already a celebrity in England, the fighter has been linked romantically with different UK models in many English publications. No matter the reasons, any press is good press.

With his skills being finely tuned fight after fight, I can’t wait to see Joshua in the ring with a quality contender, such as Tyson Fury or Manuel Charr.
