#boxing #anthonyjoshua #jakepaul #reggiecross #behindthelinesnews
Anthony Joshua just delivered the clearest reminder in combat sports: heavyweight power changes everything. Joshua stopped Jake Paul in Round 6 after multiple knockdowns—despite Jake’s early movement, clinching, and wrestling to slow the pace.

In this Behind the Lines breakdown, Reggie Cross walks through the fight round-by-round, why Joshua looked briefly frustrated by the grappling, and why the real story is simple: Jake Paul stepped in with a real live heavyweight—and the gap showed up once AJ found range.

We cover:

The early rounds: movement, clinches, and AJ’s patience
The turning point in Round 5
The Round 6 finish and what it means for both guys
What’s next for Joshua (legacy fights) and where Jake goes from here
