Anthony Joshua: “It’s a win, but it’s not a success”
MIAMI — Anthony Joshua knocked Jake Paul down three times and shattered his jaw en route to a violent sixth-round stoppage Friday night but the former unified heavyweight champion left the Kaseya Center distinctly dissatisfied.
Paul suffered two fractures in his jaw and underwent immediate surgery. Joshua, meanwhile, improved to 29-4 (26 KOs), yet said the victory fell far short of the standard he sets for himself.
Speaking at the post-fight press conference, Joshua didn’t sugarcoat his self-assessment. “What I could have done better is a lot of things, one hundred percent,” Joshua said. “The expectations we put on ourselves are immense, but I tried my best. Jake did well while it lasted.”
