Miami ¨C Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua knocked out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in their controversial Netflix-backed bout in Miami on Friday.
Two-time world champion Joshua made hard work of defeating his vastly less experienced opponent, but finally made his superior size and power count in the later stages of the eight-round fight.
A mediocre contest at the Kaseya Center ¡ª with the two men reportedly splitting a mammoth purse of $184 million ¡ª descended into farce at times, with Paul repeatedly dropping to the canvas and grappling at Joshua¡¯s legs.
