The “Problem Child” finally ran into a problem he couldn’t solve.
In front of 19,600 fans at the Kaseya Center in Miami, former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua delivered a brutal reality check to the influencer boxing world, knocking out Jake Paul in the 6th round.
The “Delusion” Shatters
For five rounds, Paul (now 12-2) tried to survive. He circled, clinched, and looked for an overhand right that never landed. But the size difference was comical—Joshua weighed in 26 lbs heavier—and the skill gap was even wider.
In the 6th, Joshua stopped playing. He landed a crushing right hand that sent Paul to the canvas for the final time. The referee waved it off immediately.
“He tried. I give him that,” Joshua said in the ring, barely breaking a sweat. “But there are levels to this game. You don’t play boxing.”
A Broken Jaw & A Broken Dream?
Paul, who was seen spitting blood in his corner, later confirmed on social media that he believes his jaw is broken. “I got my ass beat,” Paul admitted, a rare moment of humility from the 28-year-old. “But I stepped in there with a legend.”
What’s Next: Joshua vs. Fury 2026?
With the “circus act” over, Joshua wasted no time pivoting back to serious business. He grabbed the mic and issued a direct challenge to Tyson Fury, setting the stage for a massive all-British showdown in 2026.
