Anthony Joshua Defeats Jake Paul by Knockout

The fight drew 108 million global viewers on Netflix, featuring Joshua's knockout to reaffirm his status against Paul's rising boxing profile.

  • On Friday at the Kaseya Center in Miami, the Florida Athletic Commission suspended Jake Paul for seven days and Joshua for a mandatory seven-day rest after their knockout bout.
  • Under Florida rules, the Florida Athletic Commission imposes a 60-day suspension for knockouts and the matchup drew scrutiny due to Joshua weighing 243.4 lbs and Paul 216.6 lbs, a nearly 27 lbs difference.
  • In the sixth round, Anthony Joshua knocked Jake Paul down multiple times before finishing the fight, and Joshua said `It wasn't the best performance` while Paul revealed his broken jaw.
  • As a result of the stoppage, Jake Paul faces a 60-day suspension sidelining him for at least two months with possible extension, while Anthony Joshua must serve a seven-day rest period starting today.
  • Observers say the matchup highlights broader concerns about Paul's thirteen-fight career mainly versus former UFC fighters and Joshua's involvement, intensifying criticism of the bout scheduled for eight three-minute rounds.
