Anthony Joshua is preparing for one of the biggest fights of his career later this month.
Having risen to the very top of the heavyweight division in quick fashion early on in his career, Joshua has had a number of ups and downs since.

He became a world title holder in 2016 and made successful defences against the likes of Dominic Breazeale, Alexandr Povetkin and Carlos Takam, unified against Wladimir Klitschko and Joseph Parker, then came unstuck against Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 out in New York.
He avenged that loss later the same year but again lost his WBA, WBO and IBF belts on points over 12 rounds when taking on Oleksandr Uysk. The rematch went the same way in 2022 and since then Joshua has been rebuilding with four solid wins over Jermaine Franklin, Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius and most recently a devastating knockout of Francis Ngannou back in March.
He now faces current IBF champion Daniel Dubois on September 21 for his chance to come a three-time world champion.
Ahead of that he has spoken to DAZN Boxing and played the winner stays on game.
It finds him picking Muhammad Ali over all of the proposed contemporary opponents including himself, Dubois, Fury, Usyk and legends like Mike Tyson, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis.
After winning gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Ali turned pro and beat the likes of Sonny Liston, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Earnie Shavers over his 61-fight campaign. The former undisputed heavyweight champion was known as ‘The Greatest’ and left his mark not just on boxing but on history and politics.
