British heavyweight Anthony Joshua, known for his impressive boxing career, has declared Muhammad Ali as the greatest boxer ever. Joshua, an Olympic Gold Medalist from London 2012, quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the standout fighters of his era.

After turning professional, Joshua achieved early knockouts, including a notable victory over Dillian Whyte in 2015 for the British title. He won his first world title by stopping Charles Martin and later unified the titles with wins over Joseph Parker and Wladimir Klitschko.

Joshua faced a setback in 2019 with a loss to underdog Andy Ruiz Jr. but regained his titles in the rematch. Despite back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021 and 2022, Joshua has since returned to form with victories over Otto Wallin, Robert Helenius, and Francis Ngannou.

In an interview with Men's Health, Joshua named Muhammad Ali as the best fighter ever, saying, "Historically, Ali. By a mile." Ali, who won an Olympic gold medal and defeated legends like George Foreman, Sonny Liston, and Joe Frazier, is celebrated not just for his boxing prowess but also for his cultural impact.

Joshua's next challenge is a shot at becoming a three-time world heavyweight champion when he faces Daniel Dubois for the IBF title at Wembley in September, a feat previously achieved by Ali.
