On the night of Saturday, December 20, a fight took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami (USA) between former world heavyweight champion Briton Anthony Joshua (29 wins, 26 of them by knockout, 4 losses), who sensationally lost last year by knockout to Daniel Dubois, and American boxer-YouTuber Jake Paul (12 wins, 7 of them by knockout, 2 losses).

While he had the strength, the 28-year-old showman rushed around the ring, avoiding the deadly blows of the 36-year-old AJ. Paul held out for four rounds (out of eight scheduled). But in the fifth three-minute period, Joshua knocked down his opponent twice, and in the sixth – once more. And, finally, in the 6th round, the Briton knocked out the American.

“It wasn't the best performance,” Anthony Joshua admitted after the fight. “The ultimate goal was to get to Jake Paul, pin him down and land a punch. It took a little longer than expected, but the right jab finally got there.”
I've shaken off the rust and can't wait to enter 2026. And if Tyson Fury is as serious as he says he is, if he's ready to put down Twitter and put on his gloves, let him go out and fight.

I'm one of the biggest real guys here, I'll take any challenge. If you're really tough, get in the ring with me next. Enough of the “Hey Jay this,” “Hey Jay that.” Let's meet in the ring and talk with our fists.”
Jake Paul, in a post-match interview, spitting blood, announced that he had a broken jaw.
“Honestly, I was just tired,” the Puerto Rican-based entertainer said after the loss. “I just had to deal with his weight. I think if I had had better stamina, I would have kept fighting. He did a great job. He hit really hard, and I did everything I could. I got beat up a lot, but that’s the point of the sport. I’ll come back and keep winning.”
