Well, that was a thing. Anthony Joshua just put a definitive end to the whole Jake Paul boxing experiment down in Miami. The former heavyweight champ stopped the YouTube guy in the sixth round, dropping him a bunch of times before a right hand finally shut it down for good. Paul is now looking at a mandatory sixty-day medical suspension from the Florida commission, which could get longer.
Joshua himself said the showing was not his absolute best work. His whole plan going in was basically to hunt Paul down and do damage, which he admitted took a bit longer to execute than he wanted. The early part of the fight was honestly kinda sluggish, with the referee having to tell both of them to actually throw punches. Joshua figured it out by the fifth, starting to land clean and putting Paul on the canvas repeatedly. He gave Paul some credit afterward, calling him a real man for getting up so many times.
From Paul's side, he called the whole experience fun and claimed he gave everything. He said he might have a broken jaw, admitted Joshua hits stupid hard, and that he just gassed out trying to handle the champion's size and power. Paul argued that with better conditioning, he could have lasted longer, and he still vowed to come back and chase a title. Sure, dude.
