Jake Paul showed early confidence and durability, attempting to pressure Joshua and land power shots. However, as the rounds progressed, the difference in elite-level experience became increasingly evident. Joshua’s precision and timing wore down his opponent, forcing Paul onto the defensive.
The end came in the sixth round when Joshua unleashed a clean combination that dropped Paul to the canvas. The referee quickly stepped in to stop the contest, awarding Joshua the knockout victory as the crowd erupted.
The win reinforces Joshua’s status as one of boxing’s premier heavyweights, while the bout itself highlighted the growing trend of high-profile crossover fights drawing global attention. For Jake Paul, the loss marks a sobering test against a proven world-class boxer.
