Amateur career

Fowler competed at the 2013 World Championships. He won four fights including beating 2nd seed Dmytro Mytrafanov and 7th seed Stefan Härtel, winning the bronze medal along with Artem Chebotarev of Russia.
Fowler entered the 2014 Commonwealth Games Middleweight boxing competition at the round of 32, beating Cypriot Kyriakos Spanosby unanimous decision. Fowler continued to the final, defeating Kieran Smith in the round of 16, Nickson Otieno Abaka in the quarter-final, and Benny Muziyo in the semi-final, all by unanimous decision. Fowler claimed gold in the competition on 2 August 2014, defeating Indian Vijender Singh by unanimous decision.
Fowler competed for the British Lionhearts squad at the 2015 World Series of Boxing competition.
Fowler fought Asian Games quarter-finalist Zhou Di of the China Dragons in York Hall, Bethnal Green London, on 15 January 2015. Fowler comfortably controlled the opening two rounds, however in the third round the fight took a dramatic turn when a clash of heads left Fowler with a gaping cut to the forehead, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
On 30 January 2015 Fowler fought again on behalf of the British Lionhearts to face Moroccan Atlas Lions middleweight contender, Said Harnouf. Fowler dominated the first two rounds of the fight knocking his opponent down to the canvas three times. During the second round a cut Fowler sustained two weeks earlier was re-opened though the referee allowed the fight to continue. From here Fowler clearly changed strategy in order to protect the cut in order to finish the fight. Despite this setback Fowler continued to challenge his opponent and was declared the unanimous victor at the end of the five fight bout.
On 26 February Fowler went on to win his fight for the British lionhearts against his opponent Misael Rodriguez by split decision to continue his winning streak in the 2015 world series boxing.
Anthony Fowler's Olympic dream was shattered in Rio as he was floored in the second and lost all three rounds to middleweight beast Zhanibek Alimkhanuly of Kazakhstan.
Fowler finished his amateur career in 2016 with a record of 190-19.

Professional career

Fowler made his professional debut on 27 May 2017 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, on the undercard of Kell Brook vs. Errol Spence Jr., scoring a first-round knockout over Arturs Geikins.
