Watford's Anthony Joshua won in the Super-Heavyweight final against reigning Olympic champion, Italian Roberto Cammarelle.

Anthony, who's 22, grew up in Watford after moving to London aged 14. He started boxing when he was 18 after his cousin took him to Finchley and District Amateur Boxing Club (ABC).

Anthony quickly rose through the ranks and became Senior ABAE Champion at 91kg+ in May 2010.

A naturally gifted sportsman, who played football to high standard and regularly ran the 100m in less than 11 seconds as a teenager, Anthony was added to GB Boxing's Development Squad in the summer of 2010.

In November 2010, Anthony became Champion of Great Britain when he defeated Amin Isa at the GB Championships and in May 2011 he retained his ABAE title.
