Anthony Joshua dropped Jake Paul four times before securing a sixth-round stoppage victory in Miami.
The bout ended after Paul failed to beat the referee’s count in the sixth frame, bringing the highly anticipated crossover fight to a decisive close.
Reacting after the fight, Joshua admitted it was not his best performance but said his goal was clear from the start. “The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down and hurt him.
It took longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination,” he said, while also praising Paul’s resilience for repeatedly getting back to his feet.
