Jake Paul’s team is preparing legal action after claims circulated online that his Netflix fight against Anthony Joshua was staged. The bout ended with Joshua knocking Paul out in the sixth round, leaving Paul with a broken jaw in two places, despite conspiracy theories suggesting there was an agreement not to score a knockout.
Paul’s promotion company says the allegations are defamatory, stressing the fight was real and unplanned, and that Paul’s serious injuries prove it. They’ve vowed to pursue those spreading the rumors, calling the claims “mind-blowing” and a reminder that viral misinformation can carry legal consequences.
