That’s all for tonight.Thanks for following along with us and be sure to check out the full ringside report from tonight’s main event as well as the four women’s title fights on the undercard.Paul says he’s not surprised he lasted six rounds with Joshua.“I just got tired, to be honest,” he says.“It was just so much handling his weight.

I think if I could have had better cardio, I could have kept it up and kept on fighting.But he did amazing, he hits really hard.I just did my personal best.”Asked whether he’ll fight again, Paul is quick to answer: “For sure.We’re going to heal the broken jaw, [then] come back and fight people my weight and go for the cruiserweight world title.

”“I’m feeling good,” Paul says,“That was fun,I love this sport,I gave it my all,It’s fucking crazy.

I had a blast.Thank you to all the fans and everyone.I’m just blessed by God to be able to put on performances like this and big shows with Netflix.Thank you to all my fans and everyone at home.Anthony’s a great fighter.

I got my ass beat but that’s what this sport’s about.I’m going to come back and keep on winning.”Asked why he’s not more downcast, Paul says: “Man, I’ve already won in every single way in life.My family, my beautiful fiancée Jutta.This sport has helped me so much in my life.

I think my jaw is broken by the way.It’s definitely broke.A nice little ass-whipping from one of the best to ever do it.I love this shit and I’m going to come back and get a world championship belt at some point.”“I needed to give this guy a systematic breakdown,” Joshua continues.

“I know what type of fighter he is.I said I’m going to take his soul and I said I’m going to see it leaving his body round after round.And when the time comes, some people are just there to get knocked out.I said it and that’s exactly what happened.“Fighting is not just about the physicality.

I know you see someone that looks like a Greek god standing in front of you right now,But I understand the psychology of fighting as well,And I understood what Jake was going through and I just took my time,As I said, 15 months out of the ring,And I got the job done with the time period of eight rounds.

”“It wasn’t the best performance,” Joshua says.“The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down and hurt him.That has been the request leading up, and that’s what was on my mind.It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination.Now, Jake Paul, he’s done really well tonight.

I want to give him his props.He got up time and time again.It was difficult in there for him, but he kept on trying to find a way.It takes a real man to do that.Anyone who laces up these gloves, we always say we give them their respect.

We have to give Jake his respect for trying and trying and trying.Well done.But he came up against a real fighter tonight that’s had a 15-month layoff.We shook off the cobwebs, and I can’t wait to roll into 2026.“And if Tyson Fury is as serious as he thinks he is, and he wants to put down his Twitter fingers and put on some gloves and come and fight one of the realest fighters out there that will take on any challenge, step into the ring with me next if you’re a real bad boy.

Don’t do all that talking, ‘AJ this, AJ that’, let’s see you in the ring and talk with your fists.”The official time of the knockout is 1:31 of the sixth round.Both men will be doing in-ring interviews shortly and we’ll bring you what we can hear.Round 6Paul goes down again early in the sixth but makes it to his feet.He’s down again shortly after and this time he doesn’t beat the count.

A mixed reaction from the crowd as he ambles directly to the ring wearing a sleeveless camouflage robe with matching trunks and white gloves.A fraction of the pyrotechnics that we’re accustomed to for Joshua ringwalks, but he looks like he means business.Anthem time at the Kaseya Center.First it’s Skye Bishop on God Save the King.The nearly full arena mostly chit-chats over it.

Now it’s former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke out to perform the Star-Spangled Banner.She’s announced to boisterous cheers and large segments of the near-capacity crowd sing along with her performance.Rollocking chants of “YEW-ESS-AY! YEW-ESS-AY!” after she brings it home.Not much longer now.Joshua and Paul will be making their ringwalks any moment now.

In the meantime here’s our ringside report off tonight’s four women’s title fights.Alycia Baumgardner (17-1, 7 KOs), one of women’s boxing’s biggest stars, has successfully defended her WBO, IBF and WBA junior lightweight titles with a unanimous decision over Leila Beaudoin in a contest held under men’s championship rules with 12 rounds of three minutes each.The Ohio native, who rose to prominence by stopping Terri Harper in 2021 before unifying all four belts to become the undisputed champion in 2023, repeatedly punished Beaudoin with body shots, finally dropping her with a right hook to the temple at the bell ending the seventh round.Beaudoin (13-2, 2 KOs), a one-time downhill skier from Canada who took up boxing as part of her cardio training and turned professional in 2019, showed durability and ambition but was outclassed by Baumgardner’s movement and power, particularly in the later rounds as her visible frustration mounted.The judges’ scores of 117-110 (twice) and 118-109 squared with the action.

“I give myself an A-plus,” said Baumgardner, who outlanded her opponent by a 158-98 margin according to Compubox’s punch statistics.The Kaseya Center is filling up nicely as Alycia Baumgardner and Leila Beaudoin move into the back end of their scheduled 12-rounder.There are a few pockets of empty seats in the upper and lower bowls, but it should be pretty close to a sellout in the end.Down in the high-rent district, a small army of celebrities and influencers have started occupying the ringside seats as the main event draws closer.Among the more notable … the five-time major champion Rory McIlroy, fresh off last night’s Spoty gong across the pond
