Anthony Joshua was last seen in action coasting his way to a unanimous decision victory over American heavyweight Jermaine Franklin. ‘AJ’ somewhat underwhelmed boxing fans, looking gun-shy and afraid to pull the trigger. However, a win is a win and he moved one step closer to becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion.
Before that, he was seen losing for the second time to unified heavyweight champion, Oleksandr Usyk back in August last year. Since the second Usyk defeat, ‘AJ’ has teamed up with legendary American trainer Derrick James. Their first fight together was Joshua’s last outing against Jermaine Franklin in April 2023.
The last time Joshua fought at the O2 Arena prior to his fight on April 1 was back in 2016 when he defended his IBF World Heavyweight Title against Dominic Breazeale. Furthermore, Joshua’s last non-world title fight before Franklin was against British rival Dillian Whyte back in December 2015.
Now, Joshua boasts an impressive boxing record of 25 wins to three losses. Of these 25 wins, Joshua has won stopped all but three opponents by knockout. Quite an emphatic knockout ratio from the London 2012 Olympic Games gold medallist.
The only men to go the distance with Joshua and are Andy Ruiz Jr, Joseph Parker, Jermaine Franklin and of course Oleksandr Usyk who twice beat ‘AJ’ on points. This is why Joshua is always odds on to win via knockout with the best offshore gambling sites.

Joshua of course avenged that loss to Ruiz a fight later in Saudi Arabia. During his reign as the world heavyweight champion, the London man beat a whole host of incredible names. He beat Joseph Parker in a unification fight, as well as beating Dominic Breazeale, Eric Molina and Carlos Takam in his world title defenses.
Joshua’s biggest win came against the great Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium back in 2017. ‘AJ’ beat ‘Dr Steelhammer’ with an emphatic 11th round knockout, winning three world crowns at heavyweight.
