Anthony Joshua Knocks Out Jake Paul in Sixth Round in Miami
Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua produced a commanding display on Saturday morning, stopping YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul with a sixth-round knockout in their highly anticipated heavyweight clash in Miami.
Joshua, a two-time world champion, controlled the bout from the opening bell, using his experience, power, and superior boxing skills to dictate the pace. Paul showed early confidence and attempted to pressure Joshua, but the skill gap quickly became evident as the former champion landed cleaner and heavier shots.
By the middle rounds, Joshua’s dominance was clear. He repeatedly backed Paul up with sharp jabs and punishing combinations, leaving the American visibly fatigued. The end came in the sixth round when Joshua connected with a thunderous right hand that sent Paul crashing to the canvas. The referee immediately waved off the contest after Paul failed to beat the count.
The victory further reinforces Joshua’s status among boxing’s elite and highlights the difference between seasoned professional champions and crossover fighters. Speaking after the bout, Joshua praised Paul’s courage for stepping into the ring but emphasized that boxing at the highest level requires years of discipline and experience.
For Jake Paul, the defeat marks a major setback in his boxing journey, while Joshua’s emphatic win keeps him firmly in the conversation for future high-profile heavyweight contests.
