Jake Paul claims he won two rounds and 'wobbled' Anthony Joshua in their controversial heavyweight fight in Miami

Jake Paul claims to have won two rounds against Anthony Joshua and says he "wobbled" his opponent before being knocked out in the sixth round in Miami on Friday.

The 28-year-old suffered his second loss of his professional boxing career, with his first being to Tommy Fury in 2023, and had to undergo surgery after Joshua broke his jaw in two places.

Britain's two-time world heavyweight champion struggled to put a stop to Paul in the early rounds, but the American also had difficulty staying on his feet throughout the bout.

"It's not that hard to get your a** beat," Paul said on the Impaulsive podcast, co-hosted by his brother Logan Paul.

"I won two rounds then he won two, then I got dropped.

"But I was doing good, my cardio, just the mental pressure of the big guy, and sparring the big people is different than the 10oz gloves so I was feeling his power a lot more.

"It was a great experience, I learnt a lot in there.

"I wish I had more than like three weeks to put on more muscle so I could really hit him. My biggest mistake was not doing altitude training.

"I see where I could have done better so I'm a little disappointed but I also know how good he is. I had him wobbled at one point, but he had his hands up better this fight."

This was only Paul's 14th professional bout after making his debut in 2020, while Joshua had fought 32 times professionally with 28 wins, 25 of which had come by knockout.

It was expected that Joshua would clean up the fight in the opening rounds due to his extensive experience and size.

Having undergone surgery on his jaw, Paul described it as feeling "like a baseball is in there" as he appeared to be visibly swollen on the lower left side of his face.

Lasting six rounds with Joshua has planted a thought in Paul's mind of who his next opponent could be - Francis Ngannou.

The former UFC fighter made his professional boxing debut in a defeat against Tyson Fury in 2023.

Ngannou was then beaten by Joshua via a second-round knockout in 2024.

Now Paul believes Ngannou has something to prove after lasting more rounds against Joshua than the UFC heavyweight.

"I told everyone I would do better than Francis [Ngannou]," Paul said. "Francis is low-key soft."

But before he steps back into the ring, Paul will be taking a break to support his speed skating fiancé, Jutta Leerdam, at the Winter Olympics in February.
