ANTHONY JOSHUA KNOCKS OUT JAKE PAUL IN ROUND SIX OF MIAMI SHOWDOWN
British heavyweight superstar Anthony Joshua secured a sensational sixth-round knockout victory over American fighter Jake Paul in their highly anticipated boxing showdown in Miami on Saturday night.
The bout, staged in front of a sold-out crowd at the Kaseya Center, marked Joshua’s return to the ring and Jake Paul’s toughest professional test to date.
JOSHUA DOMINATES FROM THE START
From the opening bell, Joshua looked focused, composed, and confident. His superior size, reach, and experience were immediately felt as he dictated the pace behind a stiff jab and clinical movement.
Jake Paul started aggressively, pushing forward and attempting to land counter hooks, but Joshua remained disciplined—using timing and body shots to slow Paul down.
By round three, the momentum had swung fully in Joshua’s favour. A powerful right hand staggered Paul, sending the crowd to their feet. Joshua continued to increase the pressure with combinations to the head and body, forcing Paul into defensive mode.
