“This Looks Brutal”: Anthony Joshua’s KO Punch That Destroyed Jake Paul’s Jaw Captured Perfectly

Anthony Joshua’s fight with Jake Paul not only gave him a win, but it also delivered one of the best boxing photos captured on camera.

The British boxer dominated the one-sided affair, although it lasted longer than expected as Paul limited his engagement with Joshua and used lateral movements in search for opportunities to throw punches and score points instead of risking a full-on brawl.

Joshua entered the professional fight with a 28-4 record, along with 25 knockouts, so Paul knew how powerful his opponent was and that he had no chance if he let the 36-year-old boxer fight to his strengths.

However, while it took some time, Joshua was eventually able to land the knockout blow in the sixth round of the bout.

After getting Paul into a corner, Joshua saw his opponent with his guard down and his face wide open. AJ didn’t waste the opportunity and unloaded a right hand to the chin of the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
