As an amateur he won a gold medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2012 Olympics, and silver at the 2011 World Championships. As of June 2016, Joshua is ranked the world's sixth best heavyweight boxer by The Ring magazine, and currently boasts a 100% knockout ratio. He is the second British boxer, after James DeGale, to win both a gold medal at the Olympics and a world title, as well as being the first British heavyweight to do so. He is also the first ever boxer to win a recognized world heavyweight title, whilst still being Olympic champion at the top weight.

On 11 July 2013 Joshua turned professional under the Matchroom Sport promotional banner. He made his professional debut on 5 October 2013 at the O2 Arena in London, beating Italian Emanuelue Leo by a TKO in the first round.

His second professional fight was against English Heavyweight Paul Butlin at the Motorpoint Arena Sheffield on 26 October 2013. The bout was stopped in the 2nd round when the referee decided Butlin was taking too much punishment and declared Joshua the winner by TKO.

His third professional fight was on 14 November 2013. Joshua got a TKO victory in the second round, achieving his third knockout victory in a row. In February 2014, he scored a 2nd round TKO victory over Dorian Darch to take his record to 4-0. The following month, he defeated Hector Alfredo Avila with a 1st round KO, in Glasgow, Scotland. In May that year Joshua knocked out Matt Legg in one round, in Wembley Stadium. In Joshua's seventh professional fight, on 12 July 2014, in the Echo Arena, Liverpool, he defeated Englishman Matt Skelton via 2nd round stoppage. His eighth professional fight, on 13 September 2014, against German Heavyweight Konstantin Airich, Joshua took his undefeated record to 8-0 with a 3rd round stoppage victory, in the Manchester Arena. His 9th professional appearance for the vacant WBC International Heavyweight Title against former champion looking to win the title for a second time Denis Bakhtov on 11 October 2014 at The O2 Arena in London. He won the fight by knockout in the second round taking his record to 9-0 and then winning the WBC International Heavyweight Title aged just 24.

In his 10th professional bout, Joshua defeated Michael Sprott within the 1st round to extend his record to 10 wins all by stoppage. He was supposed to face American boxer Kevin Johnson on 31 January 2015 at The O2 Arena in London, but the bout was cancelled after Joshua sustained a back injury. On 4 April 2015, he beat Jason Gavern as he collected a third-round knockout in his return to the ring in Newcastle. On 9 May 2015, in his 12th professional bout, he defeated Raphael Zumbano Love in a second round knockout in Birmingham. On 30 May 2015, he defeated Kevin Johnson inflicting the first stoppage in Johnson's career. After Johnson was saved by the bell in the first round the fight was stopped by the referee shortly after the beginning of the second round.

On 12 September 2015, he won the vacant Commonwealth Heavyweight title by stopping Gary Cornish in the first round at the O2 Arena. His next fight was against Dillian Whyte in a grudge match for the vacant British Heavyweight title on 12 December 2015, whilst also defending his Commonwealth Heavyweight title for the first time. The two had previously fought within the amateur rankings in 2009 where Whyte had won. After surviving the first scare of his career in the second round, Joshua won the fight after initially shaking Whyte with a right hook to the temple and eventually finishing with a devastating uppercut for the knockout in the seventh round.

In February 2016, it was announced that Joshua would face IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin on 9 April 2016 at the O2 Arena. Martin was making the first defence of the belt that he won in January after defeating Vyacheslav Glazkov for the vacant title. Joshua set the pace in the first round and kept the southpaw Martin at bay before sending him to the canvas with a straight right hand in the second round. Martin got to his feet only to be knocked down for a second time by a similar punch just moments later. This time Martin failed to beat the count after taking too long to get up, and the referee waved the fight off, with Joshua winning his first world title.

On April 25, it was announced that Joshua's next fight would be against Dominic Breazeale on 25 June 2016 at the O2 Arena in London. Breazeale was ranked 13th by IBF below British pair Derek Chisora and David Haye. Breazeale became only the second boxer, after Dillian Whyte, to take Joshua past 3 rounds. After a dominant performance, Joshua successfully defended his IBF heavyweight title with a magnificent seventh-round knockout win.
