Anthony Joshua knocks out Jake Paul in sixth round

Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua inflicted a knockout on Jake Paul after enduring frustrating early rounds against the YouTube star in Miami, United States, in the early hours of Saturday (Nigerian time).

Joshua struggled to pin down Paul in the early rounds but finally ended the fight with a huge right hand in the sixth round.

Paul, who had struggled to keep his footing throughout the fight, toppled down by ropes and the referee waved it off as he rose to his feet.

But Joshua admitted afterwards that it “wasn’t the best performance,” with many boxing fans expecting him to finish the fight against a novice opponent much sooner.

The bout was carried live to Netflix’s approximately 300 million subscribers.
