Boxer Jake Paul, the brother of WWE Superstar Logan Paul, was in action last night, facing Anthony Joshua in a boxing match. For the fight, Jake Paul paid tribute to late WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, wearing red and yellow Hulkamania-inspired gear, and a red and yellow jacket that said Hulkamania on it.

Recording artist Tekashi 6ix9ine performed Jake Paul’s entrance, which began with a riff on Hulk Hogan’s classic “Real American” theme song. Unfortunately for Jake Paul, the spirit of Hulkamania did not run wild over Anthony Joshua, as Joshua knocked Paul out live on Netflix. Joshua knocked Paul out in the sixth round after sending him to the mat multiple times throughout the fight.

Speaking on his victory, the 36-year-old Joshua commented, “It wasn’t the best performance. The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down, and hurt him. That was the request leading up, and that’s what was on my mind. It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand found its destination.”

Paul typically fights at cruiserweight, and he later diagnosed himself with a broken jaw after the fight. Joshua’s record now stands at 29-4 with 25 knockout wins. Paul’s professional boxing record now stands at 12-2 with seven knockout wins.

WWE’s Logan Paul was also in attendance at the event, which took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, to support his brother. Clips and images from the Netflix fight are below:
