Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua delivered a crushing sixth-round knockout of Jake Paul in Miami, leaving the social media star with a broken jaw.
After a cautious opening, Joshua’s power took over as he dropped Paul twice in the fifth round before finishing the fight with a devastating right hand in the sixth.
Paul, who stepped up in weight and was clearly outsized, later confirmed his jaw was broken but praised the challenge and vowed to continue his boxing ambitions.
Joshua said it took time to find the decisive shot, praised Paul’s resilience, and then turned his attention to a potential showdown with longtime rival Tyson Fury, as reaction to the fight remained sharply divided.
