Anthony Joshua defeated Jake Paul in a six-round knockout during an intense fight. Paul initially tried to avoid Joshua’s attacks by running around the ring but was eventually knocked down twice in the fifth round and once more in the sixth round before the referee stopped the bout.
Joshua admitted that it wasn’t his best performance but commended Paul for his resilience in getting up multiple times after being knocked down. Joshua had stepped in as a replacement for Gervonta Davis, who was removed from the fight due to allegations made by an ex-girlfriend.
The fight began with Joshua showing his seriousness, skipping the usual flashy entrance and heading straight to the ring. Paul, on the other hand, resorted to evasive tactics, drawing jeers from the crowd. Despite some exchanges, Joshua dominated the match, ultimately landing a decisive right hand in the sixth round to secure the victory.
