Anthony Joshua secured a knockout victory over Jake Paul after six rounds in a fight that ended in embarrassment for the YouTuber. Initially evading Joshua, Paul eventually succumbed to Joshua’s relentless pursuit, getting knocked down twice in the fifth round and once more in the sixth, leading to the referee stopping the bout.
Reflecting on the fight, Joshua admitted it wasn’t his best performance but acknowledged Paul’s resilience. Joshua, who stepped in for Gervonta Davis with a lucrative £70 million offer, emphasized his determination to finish the job without sustaining any harm.
The match unfolded with Paul attempting to maintain distance by circling the ring, drawing jeers from the crowd. Despite some early exchanges, Joshua gradually closed the gap, eventually delivering decisive blows that led to Paul’s defeat in the sixth round.
