Jake Paul has fallen out of the World Boxing Affiliation’s cruiserweight rankings following his sixth-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua final month.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was stopped by the previous two-time heavyweight champion in a scheduled eight-round bout in Miami, the place Joshua scored 4 knockdowns earlier than the referee halted the competition within the sixth spherical. Paul suffered a damaged jaw in two locations and required surgical procedure after the battle.

Paul (12-2, 7 KOs) had entered the WBA’s cruiserweight rankings at No 14 in July after defeating Julio César Chávez Jr by unanimous choice in Anaheim, California. He was listed at No 15 getting into the bout in opposition to Joshua, regardless of the battle happening at heavyweight and carrying no rating implications in that division.
The loss marked Paul’s first defeat since dropping a break up choice to Tommy Fury in 2023 and ended his transient run within the WBA’s prime 15.
Joshua, who was returning after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois final September, mentioned afterwards that his goal was to “pin [Paul] down and harm him”.
