"Anthony Joshua wasted little time early Saturday morning in Miami turning the page from spectacle to ambition, calling out Tyson Fury moments after stopping Jake Paul in a bout that ended with the YouTuber-turned-boxer driving himself to hospital with a suspected broken jaw. Joshua halted Paul in the sixth round of Friday night's heavyweight contest at the Kaseya Center, dropping him four times in a one-sided fight that had been built as a Netflix-backed global event."
"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. Joshua acknowledged Paul's resilience after a fight in which the American was repeatedly floored but kept rising. Jake Paul, he's done really well tonight, Joshua said. I want to give him his props. He got up time and time again."
