"Sensing the YouTuber was finished, Joshua rocked him with a right uppercut early in the sixth. The native of England then floored Paul with a combination to the head. Although Paul (12-2) reached his feet again, Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) finally crushed Paul's upset dream when he dropped him a fourth time with a right to the head."
"With the victory, Joshua now can angle to reclaim the heavyweight title he lost against Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua also has talked about a long discussed match with countryman and former champion, Tyson Fury. However, Fury is currently retired following consecutive losses to Usyk in 2024. It was Joshua's first bout since Daniel Dubois knocked him out in five rounds in Sept. 2024. Joshua methodically established pace against Paul from the opening round as neither fighter engaged early."
Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round after scoring multiple knockdowns, including twice in the fifth and a decisive sequence in the sixth. Paul rose from earlier knockdowns but later reported a jaw broken in two spots. The victory positions Joshua to pursue the heavyweight title he lost to Oleksandr Usyk and a possible match with Tyson Fury, though Fury is currently retired after back-to-back losses to Usyk in 2024. The bout was Joshua's first since his knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Joshua established control early by using his reach and jab to set the pace.
