Logan Paul taunts Anthony Joshua as Jake Paul is KO’d by Joshua

Anthony Joshua delivered a sixth‑round knockout of Jake Paul on Friday night, a bout that drew attention beyond traditional boxing due to the Paul brothers’ cross‑over reach. Joshua controlled much of the action, using movement and power to keep Jake Paul off balance as the 50-50 hype around the event drew a broad audience. At ringside, Logan Paul supported his brother but also drew attention for his active taunting of Joshua from outside the ropes, a moment captured and circulated by promoters and broadcasters.

Video of the exchange shows Logan Paul directing remarks toward Joshua during the fight, telling him that he was now the older fighter and asking what Joshua planned to do next, remarks that were later tied to the bout’s combustible atmosphere. The video, posted by Most Valuable Promotions, depicted Logan engaging with Joshua while Jake Paul tried to pressure his opponent inside the ring. The scene underscored the clash between spectacle and sport that has defined the Paul‑Joshua matchup since it was announced.

Joshua largely dictated the pace, moving well to keep Jake Paul off balance and landing cleaner, more frequent punches as the rounds wore on. Jake Paul, trying to grapple and close distance, found little sustained success against Joshua’s footwork and power, and at one point the referee, Chris Young, admonished Jake after an exchange that reflected the crowd’s frustration with the din of the action. The official’s warning highlighted the tension between entertainment value and boxing form that this event had invited from the outset.

The decisive moment came in the sixth round, when Joshua landed a knockout blow that ended the bout and left Jake Paul unable to continue. In the aftermath, it was reported that Jake Paul suffered a serious jaw injury, with reports indicating fractures in two places and multiple knocked‑out teeth. The knockout confirmed Joshua’s victory in a fight that had been marketed as a blockbuster and drew scrutiny over the spectacle surrounding it, including Netflix’s promotion of the event as among the biggest of the year. The result added another chapter to the ongoing public story of the Paul brothers as cross‑over fighters and media personalities.

Video taken after the fight showed Logan Paul and Jake Paul seated together in a hospital room, a stark reminder of the physical toll of the sport and the personal ties at the center of this event. In boxing circles, the bout and the surrounding drama sparked debate about the balance between entertainment value and athletic legitimacy, as well as the impact such high‑profile showdowns have on the sport’s traditional audiences. Joshua’s performance, meanwhile, is viewed by many as a statement victory that reaffirms his standing among heavyweight contenders, even as the broader spectacle persists around his rivalries with high‑profile non‑traditional boxers.
