Overview
- Anthony Joshua defeated Jake Paul by sixth-round knockout at Miami’s Kaseya Center, with the referee stopping the bout.
- Paul, who initially said two plates were inserted, now says surgeons fitted four titanium plates and removed teeth, and his post-op images show significant swelling and bruising.
- Most Valuable Promotions’ Nakisa Bidarian noted jaw fractures typically heal in four to six weeks, but Paul’s multiple breaks and fixation could lengthen rehabilitation, and Paul says doctors advised about three months before implants.
- Netflix reported an average of 33 million viewers per minute globally and said the broadcast ranked number 1 in 45 countries, with the event also setting a gate record for the venue.
- Reporting estimated Joshua’s gross payout at about $92 million before sizable U.S. and U.K. taxes, and Paul has publicly ruled out facing David Benavidez, citing the fighter’s power and pressure.
