Anthony Joshua Stops Jake Paul in Sixth Round of Miami Heavyweight Showcase

The Netflix-streamed bout serves as a late‑career springboard for Joshua toward another title opportunity.

Overview

  • Joshua finished Paul by knockout in round six at Miami’s Kaseya Center after dropping him twice in the fifth, securing his 29th professional win.
  • The contest was an official eight‑round heavyweight fight under pro rules with 10‑ounce gloves, and the result counts on both fighters’ records.
  • Paul said in his post‑fight interview that he believed his jaw was broken, describing the injury after the finishing right hand to the chin.
  • The event was broadcast worldwide on Netflix, with coverage in markets such as Germany available to subscribers without an added pay‑per‑view fee.
  • Reported purses were extraordinarily high, though figures varied by outlet and were not uniformly confirmed, with estimates ranging from about €160 million to $184 million.
