Paul (12-2) and Joshua (29-4) collided in the main event of tonight’s Netflix Boxing special in Miami, Florida. The fight was contested at heavyweight, with the fight itself having an eight-round limit.
Although Jake Paul did a good job of frustrating Anthony Joshua early on by using a lot of movement, ‘The Problem Child’ finally started to feel the power of the former heavyweight champion in round five. Joshua dropped Paul twice during that round and promptly finished him with a series of heavy shots in the early stages of round six (see that here).
It wasn’t exactly the best performance for either man, with fellow pro fighters giving mixed reactions to the fight (see that here).
The win served as a rebound for Anthony Joshua as he had previously suffered a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last September. Prior to that setback, the former Olympic gold medalist had recorded four consecutive victories, including knockout victories over Robert Helenius and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
As for Jake Paul, tonight’s loss not only ended a six-fight winning streak, but he also suffered a broken jaw in the defeat.
Paul reportedly drove himself to the hospital after the fight, where he confirmed his suspicions that he suffered a broken jaw thanks to Anthony Joshua’s right hand.
Jaw broken. Heart and balls in tact.
Time to rest, recover and return to Cruiserweight.
