Paul was knocked out by Joshua in the sixth round of their controversial heavyweight fight in Miami last Friday. Paul was dropped twice in the fifth round before Joshua brought an end to the fight in the next round with a right hand which broke the YouTuber’s jaw in two places.

Rumours had been rife before the fight that Joshua had agreed to take it easy, suggestions which were denied by both parties. Those claims have continued, and Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian has vowed to take action.

“Our lawyers are actively going after a number of people, one who claims to be a lawyer himself online… it was a post that had around 200,000 likes,” he told the Ariel Helwani show. “Basically, the post claimed there was an agreement for AJ not to knock out Jake but AJ disregarded it and decided to forego his payday to knock out Jake Paul. It’s pretty astonishing what people will say.

“There has never once in Jake Paul’s career been any talk of that sort, of anything to do with the fight being anything but a real fight that has the same situation as any professional fight. That’s exactly the same thing here with the Anthony Joshua fight. It is just beyond mind-blowing that people would think that.
