Elite athlete, podcaster, actor and model Anthony Ogogo is an Olympic medallist in boxing and a professional wrestler. Anthony was at one time the world’s most sponsored boxer with partners including Nike, Subway, Coco-Cola.
He has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, Bear Grylls Celebrity Island, Splash!, Celebrity Mastermind and has featured on A Question of Sport more than ten-times as well as celeb game shows Celebrity Pointless and Tipping Point.
He got a bronze medal in the London 2012 Olympics despite travelling back and forth during the Games to visit his mum who was in hospital fighting for her life following a brain aneurysm. After turning pro, Anthony racked up a perfect 11-0 record and was on the cusp of a world title fight when disaster struck. He suffered an orbital fracture. Misdiagnosis meant he kept fighting resulting in irreparable damage to his eye and related soft tissue. To try and get his eye fit to return to the ring, Anthony had nine surgeries over three years during which more damage occurred and he had to retire from boxing.
Anthony regularly works as a boxing pundit and commentator on channels including Sky Sports, BBC, ITV and BT Sport. He has modelled for fashion brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, DSquared, Lyle & Scott and has modelled at Milan Fashion Week twice as well as London Fashion Week. His podcast ‘Getting Back Up, with Anthony Ogogo’ launches this summer.
