In Miami on Friday night, former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua delivered a sixth-round knockout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in their highly publicized, Netflix-backed showdown.
Joshua, a two-time world champion, faced more resistance than expected from his far less experienced opponent. Despite Paul’s determination, Joshua’s superior size and punching power ultimately proved decisive. After a competitive opening half of the eight-round contest, Joshua asserted control in the later stages and closed the bout with a powerful finish.
