Jake Paul was knocked out by Anthony Joshua in the sixth round of their highly anticipated boxing match at the Kaseya Center in Miami, US, on December 19, with fans spotting the exact moment the YouTube star realised he was in serious trouble
The Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua bout took place this weekend, marking one of the most anticipated and talked-about boxing events in recent times. The fight kicked off on 19 December 2025 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, and was exclusively live-streamed worldwide on Netflix as part of a major event card.
The fight consisted of eight 3-minute rounds with knockouts permitted and both fighters donning 10 oz gloves. It featured former two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua (28-4, many KOs), 36, hailing from Watford, UK, squaring off against YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul, 28, originally from Florida, UK.
Paul entered the ring with a 12-1 record, having primarily been a cruiserweight before stepping up to heavyweight.
The bout saw Joshua triumph over Paul by knockout in the sixth round. The initial rounds were slower-paced, with Paul utilising movement and clinching to evade damage, while Joshua aimed to land heavy blows.
Joshua began to dominate in the middle rounds and finally landed a powerful right hand in Round 6 that floored Paul for the finish. Reports suggest that Paul sustained a broken jaw from the knockout punch.
This victory marked Joshua’s comeback to the winning streak and handed Paul his second professional defeat.
