Many were surprised that Paul went from being scheduled to fight a lightweight to facing a heavyweight. Some were even convinced the fight ultimately wouldn\u2019t take place, but it did indeed occur as advertised.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua scored a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/boxing-news\/anthony-joshua\/anthony-joshua-finishes-jake-paul-in-round-6-video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sixth-round knockout victory<\/a> over Paul, who avoided danger for most of the fight until he was worn out. A straight right from Joshua broke Paul\u2019s jaw.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/boxing\/464390\/andrei-arlovski-reveals-valuable-lesson-jake-paul-learned-getting-his-jaw-broken-by-anthony-joshua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">MMAFighting.com<\/a>, Andrei Arlovski said Paul\u2019s loss served as an important lesson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t like it but Jake Paul had f*cking great condition for six rounds,\u201d Arlovski said. \u201cObviously he ran around, it doesn\u2019t matter. He got his broken jaw. It\u2019s not good. Broken jaw in two places is going to take some time to heal it to get recovered. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully maybe yes, maybe not he\u2019s going to get back into boxing. But for now, he might understand people who spend 10, 15, 20 years in boxing and MMA, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re training hard like last month in a boxing gym or something or do MMA. People f*cking spend their lives over there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul has said he isn\u2019t done with competing in the sport of boxing. He even has a lofty goal of becoming a champion, which experts believe is a pipe dream.<\/p>\n<p>As for Joshua, he has endured tragedy since the win over \u201cEl Gallo.\u201d Joshua was shaken up in a car crash that killed two of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif \u201cLatz\u201d Ayodele. The former heavyweight champion recently spoke about the loss of his friends on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>Do you expect Jake Paul to fight another prime boxer or will he revert to an aging MMA star in his next bout?
