Anthony Joshua defeats Jake Paul by knockout in sixth round

 

Anthony Joshua defeated Jake Paul with a sixth-round knockout in their professional heavyweight fight in Miami on Friday, December 19, 2025. Joshua, a two-time former world heavyweight champion, scored four knockdowns during the bout and ended the fight at 1:31 in the sixth round with a decisive right hand.

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.

Despite being a significant underdog and the difference in class, Paul survived longer than many of Joshua's previous opponents and kept getting up after knockdowns, earning respect from Joshua.

Paul plans to take a break to recover from his jaw injury before returning to fight at cruiserweight to pursue a world title. Joshua used the fight to "shake off the cobwebs" after a long lay-off and called out long-time rival Tyson Fury for a potential fight in 2026.

Streaming Platform: The match was streamed live exclusively on Netflix as a major event for the platform.
