Joshua vs. Paul finished slightly behind Terence Crawford's unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed super middleweight champion on September 13
Anthony Joshua’s sixth-round knockout over Jake Paul on Friday has the numbers to back it up.
The fight, which streamed on Netflix from Kaseya Center in Miami, drew “an estimated average minute audience (AMA) of 33 million Live+1 viewers globally from opening to closing bell, per VideoAmp and Netflix,” according to a press release from Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix.
The co-main event, a unanimous decision victory for unified 130-pound champion Alycia Baumgardner over Leila Beaudoin, had an AMA of 15 million viewers.
MVP also added that the fight between Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) and Paul drew 1.25 billion impressions on Netflix’s global social channels.
Along with those impressions, the slow-motion clip of Joshua’s devastating right hand that dropped Paul for a fourth and final time and broke his jaw in two places has 214 million impressions across Netflix’s global social channels, making it the most-viewed clip from a Netflix live event.
The fight also trended No. 1 worldwide on X and was Netflix’s most-watched event on Friday in the U.S. and UK, among other countries, according to MVP. Joshua vs. Paul set a record for the highest-grossing boxing gate at Kaseya Center.
Paul managed to evade Joshua's offense for the first four rounds by moving around the 22-foot ring but he began to tire in the fifth, where he was knocked down twice.
Joshua scored one more knockdown in the sixth before he finally managed to corner Paul and break his jaw with one final right hand to end the fight.
Paul’s bout against Mike Tyson in November of last year drew an estimated AMA of 108 million global viewers and set a record for most-streamed sporting event ever with 65 million concurrent streams.
That night's co-main event, Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano II that the former won by unanimous decision, was the most-watched women’s fight sports event in U.S. history, drawing an estimated 74 million live viewers globally with an AMA of 47 million.
Joshua vs. Paul was also slightly behind Terence Crawford's unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez to become the undisputed super middleweight champion on September 13. Crawford vs Canelo drew an AMA of 36.6 million throughout the fight.
