Jake Paul faced harsh criticism from the referee during his bout with Anthony Joshua, with the official stating, “fans did not pay to see this.” The match in Miami quickly turned sour as Paul struggled to maintain distance and resorted to grappling tactics. Despite lasting six rounds, Paul’s unconventional style and repeated falls drew reprimands from the referee.
Following the fight, Paul acknowledged his defeat, admitting, “I got my arse beat.” Despite sustaining a broken jaw, he expressed gratitude for the experience and vowed to return stronger. Meanwhile, Paul’s team confirmed his injury and expected recovery time, noting that broken jaws are common in combat sports.
