On December 19, Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round at the Kaseya Center in Miami, as the viewing figures have been revealed.

Joshua ended the contest with a powerful right hand that caused a double fracture in Paul’s jaw, leading to immediate surgery and the insertion of titanium plates. Despite the brutal outcome for “The Problem Child,” the event was a landmark success for the venue, setting a new record as the highest-grossing boxing gate in the history of the Kaseya Center.

Reports indicate that 33 million live viewers globally on Netflix also tuned in. The event dominated the platform’s rankings, hitting the Top 10 in 91 countries and securing the #1 spot in 45 of them, including major markets like the United States, United Kingdom, and Mexico.

The spectacle also provided a massive platform for women’s boxing, with the co-main event between Alycia Baumgardner and Leila Beaudoin producing an impressive 15 million average viewers. Beyond the live broadcast, the event’s social media footprint was astronomical, generating 1.25 billion impressions and trending at #1 on X in multiple countries. A slow-motion replay of the final knockout blow further shattered records, becoming Netflix’s most-watched live-event clip ever with over 214 million views.
