MIAMI -- Jake Paul found out the hard way that there are levels in boxing and former two-time unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua operates on another stratosphere after the social media influencer-turned-professional boxer was knocked out in the sixth round Saturday night at Kaseya Center.
It was an ugly affair that lasted much longer than many predicted, with Paul circling away from Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) for the first half of the fight as jeers rained down in the arena. Paul's reluctance to engage ensured his survival early, but his conditioning ended up betraying him as the hulking Brit caught up to his tiring opponent and ended the fight with a scintillating straight right hand.
