Money for nothing: Joshua and Paul to share $100m after controversial bout
December 21, 2025
|The Observer
The jawbreaking mismatch was booed by the crowd but the YouTuber and the boxer walked away with a fortune
Anthony Joshua, the two-time heavyweight world champion, laboured to beat YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul in one of boxing's most controversial mismatches, breaking Paul's jaw in two places as the Miami fight was stopped in the sixth round.
Joshua, still one of the world's most formidable heavyweights, with a punching power incomparable to any of Paul's previous opponents - a range of influencers and retired MMA fighters and boxers - would have won a poor fight sooner had Paul not prioritised avoiding him. The pair are expected to share a $100m purse.
The former Disney Channel star was knocked down four times in the fifth and sixth rounds on Friday night, repeatedly grabbing Joshua's legs. There were audible boos, and at one point referee Christopher Young warned the pair, "the fans didn't pay to see this crap".
