Jake Paul has emulated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather this his latest social media post after his KO defeat to Anthony Joshua in Miami, Florida, on Friday night. The American showed off his earnings from the fight in an image that also showed off various weaponry inside a private jet.

Former two-time unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medallist Joshua, 36, knocked down his YouTuber-turned-professional boxer opponent, 28, in Round 6 of their heavyweight bout at the Kaseya Center.

Joshua's powerful right hand was so powerful that Paul's jaw was left broken in multiple places, requiring surgery quickly after the fight had concluded.

Despite his injury adding misery to defeat, the American fighter has kept highly active on social media in the aftermath and in his latest Instagram post flaunted his takings from the high in the form of wads of $100 bills all over the floor of a private jet - also posing with several various guns in the same photograph.

"The American Dream [US flag emoji]. Start yours today. Believe in it. Fail. Work. Fail. Learn. Fail. Don’t ever stop," wrote Paul, who could be seen holding a gold-plated magnum whilst smoking a cigar.

The post itself has earned comparisons to pictures posted by former fellow boxer 'Money' Mayweather in years gone by. The former five-time world champion would often pose with his millions in cash after huge fights during his own 21-year professional career.

Paul has already praised the sport and said he plans to continue boxing and aim for world titles, especially at cruiserweight once recovered. However, he will have to wait a full 60 days before entering the ring again as a mandatory medical suspension comes into effect following his knockout.

Meanwhile following his victory, Joshua publicly challenged Tyson Fury for a future bout, hinting he would build up to that heavyweight challenge with future fights.

"First of all, I want to give love to the crowd that came out. I really do appreciate everyone in this venue. Look, it was not the best performance. It was not the best. The end goal was to get Jake Paul... pin him down and hurt him.

"That has been the request leading up and that was on my mind. It took a little longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination.

"Now, Jake Paul... he has done really well tonight. I want to give him his props. He got up. Time and time again. It was difficult in there for him, but he kept on trying to find a way.

"It takes a real man to do that. Anyone who laces up those gloves, we always say we give them their respect. We have to give Jake his respect for trying and trying and trying. Well done. But... he came up against a real fighter tonight that's had a 15 month lay-off. We shook off the cobwebs and I cannot wait to roll into 2026.

"And if Tyson Fury is as serious as he thinks he is, and he wants to put down his Twitter fingers and put on some gloves and come out and fight one of the realest fighters that will take on any challenge.

"Step in the ring with me next if you are a real bad boy. Don't do all of that talking 'AJ this, AJ that.' Let's see you in the ring and talk with your fists."
