Anthony Joshua made hard work of Jake Paul at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Saturday morning, with the Briton needing six rounds to beat his American rival.
AJ was participating in his first bout since losing to Daniel Dubois at Wembley in September 2024, with the 36-year-old replacing Gervonta Davis - who had to withdraw for legal reasons.
All the pressure was on Joshua from the start, with many fans condemning him for taking on a bout against a former YouTuber and Disney Channel star.
And the Briton was ultimately too strong for Paul, delivering a nervy victory in front of a packed crowd in Florida to end any chances of a sensational sporting upset.
