The partnership will also see Joshua play a leading role in supporting Sky’s commitment to helping young people reach their potential across the UK and Ireland. By the end of this academic year, over half a million young people will have been involved in Sky Academy initiatives.
Anthony comments, "Sky have been with me since the start of my professional career. They've followed me every step of the way and I am pleased to be joining such a great and ambitious organisation. As a Sky Ambassador I believe I'm in an incredibly strong position to inspire others, especially the next generation, to unlock their future potential and give something back."
The news comes ahead of Joshua’s world heavyweight unification title fight - the biggest of his professional career to date - against Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium live on Sky Sports Box Office.
After winning Olympic gold at the London Olympics in 2012, Joshua turned professional and has since won all 18 of his professional bouts by knockout.
