Anthony Joshua was dominant throughout the match, ultimately proving too much for Paul, a social media star turned professional boxer who typically competes at a lower weight class. Paul suffered a double broken jaw as a result of the knockout punch and later posted an image of his X-ray.
he fight was a sanctioned, professional heavyweight contest and not an exhibition, counting on both fighters' official records.
