Jake Paul provided tougher test to Anthony Joshua than Kristian Prenga, says MVP's Nakisa Bidarian

Jake Paul provided more of a challenge to Anthony Joshua than Kristian Prenga, according to Most Valuable Promotions partner Nakisa Bidarian.

In his first fight since facing YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul last December, Joshua was sent to the canvas by two first-round knockdowns from the unfancied Albanian.

Joshua clawed himself off the canvas twice, eventually knocking Prenga out in emphatic fashion in round two to stay on track for an end-of-year showdown with Tyson Fury.

But as far as Bidarian is concerned, the contest further highlighted how well Paul performed against Joshua over six rounds before the British heavyweight landed a knockout punch that broke his jaw.
