It took a bit longer than expected but the right hand finally found its destination.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua meanwhile praised Paul for lasting into the later rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I want to give him his props &#8212; he got up time and time again,&#8221; Joshua said. &#8220;It was difficult in there for him, but he kept on trying to find a way. It takes a real man to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul, meanwhile, his mouth bloodied from Joshua&#8217;s final assault, said he believed his jaw had been broken &#8212; but was satisfied with his performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That was fun. I gave it my all,&#8221; Paul said. &#8220;I had a blast. I think my jaw is broken by the way. But Anthony&#8217;s one of the best to ever do it so. I&#8217;m gonna come back and get a world championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I just got tired to be honest &#8212; like it was so much handling his weight. I think with better cardio I could have kept it up and kept on fighting. But he hits really hard.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday&#8217;s made-for-streaming contest, which came just over a year after Paul had fought a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a much-derided Netflix fight, had triggered alarm across boxing given the disparity in size and experience between the two men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet the devastating first or second round knockout by Joshua that most had predicted failed to materialize as Paul scrambled desperately to stay outside of the 2012 Olympic champion&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua, fighting for the first time in 15 months, always looked the more threatening fighter though, landing 48 of 146 punches thrown compared to Paul&#8217;s meagre total of 16 punches landed. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/joshua-knocks-out-paul-to-win-netflix-boxing-bout\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua knocked out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in their controversial Netflix-backed bout in Miami on Friday.
