Anthony Joshua's 5 Greatest Wins

#1. Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko

Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko was a colossal clash. The fight between these two goliaths was something out of a novel. The bout was more epic and cinematic than Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed.

On April 29th, 2017, Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko shocked the world with their unwordly skills and iron hearts.

Prior to the Wembley Stadium clash, the Ukrainian legend was written off as old and washed up. His last outing was a disappointing loss to Tyson Fury back in 2015. How could he turn back the clock? How could he have the grit to beat a much younger champion? Did he even have it in him to impress in one last great performance?

Well, Klitschko did more than impress. In front of 90,000 screaming fans, he almost won.

After a slow and cautious start from both men, Anthony Joshua brought the crowd to life when he sent his older foe to the canvas in the fifth round. Victory looked almost certain for the young Brit. However, in an epic twist, Klitschko came back and took the round by landing his own power punches, stunning Joshua and the Wembley fans.

In the sixth round, the Ukrainian scored his own dramatic knockdown. Was this Klitschko's swan song? Was he going to regain his titles by defeating England's golden boy?

It was in these moments that Joshua proved his worth as the next great heavyweight champion. Pulling himself off the canvas, 'AJ' fought back against his more experienced opponent. While Klitschko let his foot off the gas, Anthony Joshua came back stronger and searched for a grand finish.

A grand finish is what he got.

In the eleventh round, Joshua scored a highlight-reel uppercut and followed it up with two spectacular knockdowns. Heroically, Klitschko was able to get back to his feet. However, the young champion did not relent and chased the Ukrainian around the ring.

With less than a minute remaining in the round, 'AJ' trapped Klitschko in the corner and unleashed one last barrage, forcing the referee to halt the epic contest.

Anthony Joshua's victory over a legend like Klitschko shattered all expectations. It proved he was capable of hanging with the best of his generation. It also proved that there was officially a new face of heavyweight boxing.
