Joshua Knocks Out A Spirited Jake Paul

Contributor ·20 December 2025

Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round, as you can see how the fight played out live.

Paul was coming off a June victory over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. However, this was by far his biggest test. Joshua, who usually fights around 250 pounds, had to cut down to a strict 245-pound limit for this bout. He tipped the scales at 243.4 pounds—his lightest in years.

Paul weighed in at 216.4 pounds, still 27 pounds lighter than "AJ." Joshua, despite a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in 2024, is a top-tier heavyweight who has shared the ring with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua proved he was too much for Paul.
