Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua – results and post-fight report

A very clamorous clash between Jake Paul AND Anthony Joshua took longer than most expected, but the difference in size and experience was evident from the first bell. Still, Paul entered the fight with confidence, finishing the first round and signaling that he intended to prove that he could truly compete at Joshua’s level.

Joshua boxed conservatively in the first rounds, using stiff jabs and subtle footwork to control the distance. Paul had moments of success as he aggressively pushed forward, firing difficult shots from distance that sparked a reaction from the crowd, but Joshua’s defense and timing consistently undermined any sustained attacks. In the third round, Joshua began to focus on his punches, landing pristine right hands that clearly slowed Paul down.

Average rounds saw Anthony Joshua have full control. His punch selection became more varied, combining powerful body shots with edged uppercut combinations. Jake Paul he showed stamina and determination, continuing to push forward despite taking massive shots, but his performance declined as fatigue set in and he began to voluntarily buckle his knee under the pressure. Joshua never wavered his composure and consistently exploited mistakes in Paul’s defense.

The fight came to an end shortly afterwards, with Joshua forcing a stoppage after a sustained period of pressure that saw Paul suffer three knockdowns before the fight was called off. The result confirmed Joshua’s elite pedigree and experience at the highest level, while Paul was praised for venturing into uncharted and unsafe territory against a proven heavyweight.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
