UFC Reporter Claims Paul vs Joshua Was 'Scripted' After What She Spotted

Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth-round of their professional boxing bout but a UFC reporter claims to have spotted something out of the ordinary.

Paul managed to survive the first five rounds by making full use of the bigger ring to avoid the Olympic champion’s power shots.

With the American starting to fatigue, Joshua was able to cut off the canvas and started to land his bigger shots as the fight creeped towards the latter rounds, dropping Paul multiple times.

The final blow came in round six with Paul stuck in the corner, breaking Paul’s jaw in two places to claim victory.

As with all of Paul’s fights in his boxing career, fans continue to speculate whether the bout was completely legitimate, some claiming Joshua purposefully took it easy on his opponent during the early stages to drag the contest out.

UFC reporter Nina Marie Danielle, more commonly known as Nina Drama, echoed their view and suggested some elements of the fight was scripted.

"Maybe they were like, 'don't go too hard on him'. Let's draw it out, let's draw it out for the people,” she said during his live watchalong on KICK.

"I've never seen Joshua fight like that,”

"There is so many times where Joshua just left it out, he just left his jab out there. He could have followed up. 'Oh, he's pushing him back, he's trying to keep the distance'. Okay fine.

"But then look. Half the time he's kinda like this, then nothing. Okay sure."

She added: "Nothing. You're going to tell me Joshua couldn't figure the distance out? A professional boxer of how many years couldn't figure the distance out between him and Jake Paul?

"This whole time? It took how many rounds? Get the f*** out of here, that's crazy.

"How many punches did Joshua miss?"

Paul instantly responded to claims of the fight being ‘rigged’ on Instagram minutes after suffering the knockout defeat, posting a gruesome image of his broken jaw prior to surgery.

The YouTube star drove himself to hospital immediately after the fight, missing the post-fight press conference, before going under the knife.

While in the hospital bed, he called to fight boxing legend Canelo Alvarez in just ten days time.
