Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua simulation shows shock outcome as fighter survives after being dropped twice

A simulation has given a glimpse into how Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua’s heavyweight showdown might unfold.

Paul was originally scheduled to meet Gervonta Davis in an exhibition bout on November 14.

But after the bout collapsed, he penned a deal to share the ring with Joshua instead on December 19.

Joshua is expected to make light work of Paul, who is a novice in comparison to the Briton, who is a two-time heavyweight champion and boasts 28 wins.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer, however, is confident that he can spring the greatest of upsets and deliver a knockout when they share the ring.

In an attempt to prove one of their predictions correct, the Undisputed boxing game has provided a simulated version of events.

Astonishingly, Paul manages to make it to the final bell.

The 12-round simulation begins with Joshua unsurprisingly dominating the major underdog.

As expected, Joshua leaves little room for Paul to match his power in the early stage of the fight.

In the third round, an uppercut from Joshua sends Paul down on the canvas for the first time.

Despite the power in Joshua’s punch, the 28-year-old manages to get back on his feet within the referee’s count to return to his corner.

After the knockdown, the judges’ scorecards have Joshua leading at 30-26.

Paul then finds his groove and almost manages to inflict some real damage to his opponent.

Despite falling short in every category to his opponent, Paul managed to win two rounds in the first portion of their clash after landing some impressive shots.

Heading into the seventh round, Joshua remained ahead on points but was still not assured of victory just yet.

After briefly losing control, the Briton manages to reassert himself in the championship rounds.

Joshua lands a destructive body shot that sees Paul down on his knees less than 10 seconds before the final bell.

The American remarkably climbs back to his feet and the result goes to the judge’s scorecards.

Joshua is ultimately declared the winner via unanimous decision with all three ruling it 117-109 in his favour.

Their real clash is expected to end under drastically different circumstances, but Paul will certainly be hoping he can handle Joshua’s ferocious power in a similar fashion.
