Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua secured a convincing victory against Jake Paul, a YouTuber turned fighter, by knockout in the sixth round of the match held at Kaseya Center in Miami. Although Joshua, at 36 years old, had not fought since September 2024, when he was defeated by Daniel Dubois, he entered the ring as a clear favorite. At Wednesday's photo confrontation, Joshua, standing at 1.98 meters, significantly surpassed Paul, who is 1.85 meters tall, also having a six-inch reach advantage. Joshua weighed in at 243 pounds, while Paul was at 216 pounds, considering that 12 of Paul's fights took place at the 200-pound weight limit. This victory gives Joshua a new boost in his boxing career.
