Jake Paul faces a compulsory two-month boxing suspension after Anthony Joshua knocked him out in the sixth round of their heavyweight clash.<\/p>\n

The Florida Athletic Commission will enforce the 60-day ban following the knockout at Miami’s Kaseya Centre on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The suspension could potentially be extended should officials determine the knockout was particularly severe.<\/p>\n

Paul, 28, entered the eight-round professional contest with a 12-1 record but was ultimately outclassed by the former two-time unified heavyweight champion.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber-turned-boxer spent much of the fight retreating and relying on clinches to avoid Joshua’s punishing power before eventually succumbing to fatigue.<\/p>\n

Following the bout, Paul disclosed that Joshua had fractured his jaw during their encounter.<\/p>\n

The American said: “I’ve already won in every single way in life, my family, my jaw is broken by the way, it’s definitely broke, nice little a** whooping from one of the best to ever do it.”<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old attributed his defeat partly to exhaustion from dealing with his opponent’s superior size.<\/p>\n

He explained: “Honestly, I’m not surprised, I just got tired, so much handling his weight. I think with better cardio, I could’ve kept fighting.”<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, Paul remains focused on championship aspirations.<\/p>\n

“Oh, for sure, we’ll heal the broken jaw, go back, fight people my own weight and go for the cruiserweight world title. I’m going to take a little break. I’ve been going hard for six years.”<\/p>\n

Joshua, meanwhile, conceded his performance fell short of expectations despite securing the victory.<\/p>\n

The former Olympic gold medallist acknowledged: “It wasn’t the best performance. The goal was to get Jake Paul out and hurt him.”<\/p>\n

The British heavyweight nevertheless praised his opponent’s resilience throughout the contest.<\/p>\n

He said: “Jake Paul has done really well tonight. I want to give him his props, he got up, time and time again. I just took my time and I got the job done.<\/p>\n

“I refuse to get hurt, I refuse to acknowledge getting hurt. There is no hurt in me.”<\/p>\n

The bout had generated significant controversy in the build-up, with Joshua making headlines for his aggressive rhetoric.<\/p>\n

The Briton declared beforehand: “It’s my job, we fight. We have a licence to kill. I’m sure many people don’t understand it but this is what my job is. I just enjoy what I do.”<\/p>\n

Joshua weighed in at 243.4lbs compared to Paul’s 216.6lbs, creating a substantial 26.8lb advantage for the former champion.<\/p>\n

The contest saw both fighters wearing regulation 10oz gloves across the scheduled eight three-minute rounds, representing the biggest challenge of Paul’s boxing career to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul faces a compulsory two-month boxing suspension after Anthony Joshua knocked him out in the sixth round…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":360172,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,44,13296,588,85],"class_list":["post-360171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-news","tag-sgg","tag-sport","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=360171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/360171\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/360172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=360171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=360171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=360171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
