Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round of their boxing fight on Friday night at Kaseya Center in Miami.
The former unified world heavyweight champion showed patience early, waiting for his opportunities much to the dismay of the crowd, but stepped up his aggressiveness as the bout went on. After a fifth round that saw two knockdowns of Paul, Joshua finished him one round later with a brutal straight right.
On Saturday morning, Paul addressed the knockout on X, providing an update on his physical condition after saying he suffered a broken jaw following the fight.
"Just got out of surgery. Everything went smooth," Paul wrote. "Thanks for all the love. Lots of pain and stiffness. Gotta eat liquids for 7 days," he added
Paul gave a shoutout to the team at Miami University hospital, which he said was amazing, gracious and caring.
