In a fierce heavyweight boxing match in Miami, Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round of their highly anticipated bout, delivering a definitive outcome in a contest that drew global attention. The two-fighter spectacle was broadcast to millions, combining mainstream sport with the viral energy of modern crossover boxing, making it one of the most talked-about events of 2025.
From the outset, Joshua, a former unified world heavyweight champion with an extensive pedigree, controlled much of the contest by using his size, power, and experience to outmaneuver Paul during the early rounds. Paul, the social-media star turned boxer, demonstrated resilience and agility but struggled to land significant power shots against the more seasoned heavyweight. By the time the sixth round arrived, Joshua’s pressure was clearly taking its toll.
Joshua’s knockout came after a straight right hand followed by a combination that sent Paul to the canvas for the final time, prompting the referee to stop the fight. Paul had been down multiple times leading up to the sequence, with the judges’ scorecards already reflecting Joshua’s dominance before the finish.
