DOWN GOES PAUL!!
Anthony Joshua DEFEATS Jake Paul by KNOCK OUT!
Joshua knocked out Paul in Round 6 with a monstrous right hand Friday night at the Kaseya Center in Miami. In doing so, Joshua appeared to also break the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s jaw.
Many predicted the eight-round Netflix heavyweight boxing match wouldn’t go past the first couple of rounds, but it was a frustrating night for Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) as Paul employed plenty of lateral movement in the fight, refusing to engage much with the Brit. Paul impressively made Joshua (12-2, 7 KOs) miss with a handful of rights early in the contest and had success with his jab.
Joshua, who was ending a 15-month layoff and fighting for the first time since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois in an IBF heavyweight title bout in September 2024, was disappointed with his showing.
“It wasn’t the best performance — it wasn’t the best,” Joshua admitted. “The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down and hurt him. That has been the request leading up [to the fight] and that’s what was on my mind. It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination.
“As I said, I need to give this guy a systematic breakdown. I know what type of fighter he is, and I said I’m going to take his soul, and I said I’m going to see it leaving his body round after round, and when the time comes, some people are just there to get knocked out.”
Joshua called out fellow former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in his post-fight interview for a dream clash that would be among the biggest in boxing history. Uncrowned understands that a fight between the pair is already in the works for September 2026.
