Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua – Heavyweight (8x3min rounds)

In the main event of the show, all eyes were on Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has steadily built a 12–1 professional record, but has never faced someone like AJ, who is an Olympic gold medalist and former two-time unified heavyweight champion.

The fight was set for eight three-minute rounds, with both fighters using standard 10-ounce gloves. In the early rounds, Jake stuck to his game plan, dodging Joshua’s powerful shots and clinching while landing his own jabs to take control of the rounds.

The output dropped considerably in the second and third rounds by Jake, while Joshua continued to land a big shot and knock Jake out cold. For some reason, Jake tried to take down AJ in the fourth round, which caused the referee to issue a stern warning.

Jake continued to go to the ground, trying to take down AJ in the fourth round. The referee issued another stern warning, this time even to AJ, to not engage and fight clean as the frustrated crowd rained down boos. AJ found some early success in round five, scoring two knockdowns in the final minute of the round to change the trajectory of the fight.

AJ came out of the gate hard, looking for his 26th knockout, scoring another knockdown to start the round. Paul called on AJ despite the offense, looking to bait him, but it didn’t work as Joshua landed a massive right hand to knock down Paul again, and Jake failed to get back to his feet in time as AJ was announced the winner via Knockout.

Winner: Anthony Joshua via Round 6 KO
