Anthony Joshua Defeats Jake Paul by Knockout

Anthony Joshua used his size and experience to secure a sixth-round knockout over Jake Paul in an eight-round heavyweight bout, supported by Netflix and major promoters.

  • On Friday, Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in Miami at the Kaseya Center in their Netflix-backed heavyweight bout scheduled for eight three-minute rounds with 10oz gloves.
  • Anthony Joshua framed the matchup as a mission to save boxing, saying it "just seems I've been called in to save the purest of boxing," while entering heavier at 243 pounds to Jake Paul's 216.

  • The result handed Paul a high-profile defeat that punctures his ambitious step-up plans after a long promotional build, while promoters dismissed rigging theories and the Florida commission eyed large financial stakes.
  • Observers raised questions about contractual clauses and oversight, noting talk of a `no knock out clause` and critics said the fight should never have been sanctioned by the Florida commission or Most Valuable Promotions.
