Last updated Nov. 25 — Hailing from Watford, UK and standing at a towering 6-foot-6, Anthony Joshua is one of boxing’s most accomplished heavyweights — and he’s stepping into the ring with Jake Paul on Dec. 19, live globally on Netflix, included in all plans.
The former two-time unified WBO, IBF, and WBA heavyweight champion has headlined stadium fights, claimed Olympic gold, delivered countless highlight-reel knockouts, and built a global profile through philanthropy and major sponsorships.
Here’s everything you need to know about him — including his record, notable wins, stats at a glance, and how he stacks up against Paul ahead of Jake vs. Joshua.
Joshua has defeated a long list of top contenders and champions across the heavyweight division throughout his career.
Joshua last fought Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium in Sept. 2024, falling in the fifth round via a knockout punch from his British rival.

Paul’s record is 12-1 with 7 KOs. He last fought Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. — a unanimous decision victory in a 10-round cruiserweight bout — in June.
“Jake or anyone can get this work. No mercy. I took some time out and I’m coming back with a mega show. It’s a big opportunity for me. Whether you like it or not, I’m here to do massive numbers, have big fights and break every record whilst keeping cool, calm and collected. Mark my words, you’ll see a lot more fighters take these opportunities in the future. I’m about to break the internet over Jake Paul’s face.”
Paul — standing at 6-foot-1 — competed as a heavyweight at 227 pounds for his record-breaking Netflix fight against Mike Tyson in 2024, but he is typically a cruiserweight, which is a maximum weight of 200 pounds.
