Anthony John Fowler (born March 10, 1991 in Liverpool ) is an English professional boxer. He is a cousin of former soccer player Robbie Fowler .
Amateur career
Anthony Fowler started boxing at the age of ten, winning the British Cadet Championships in 2007, the English Junior Championships in 2008 and 2009, and the English Elite Welterweight Championships in 2010.

Due to a hand injury, however, Fowler could not start the fight, so his opponent went through walkover automatically to the final.
