After Anthony Joshua's stunning victory, a member of Jack Doherty's group allegedly bumped into Andrei Arlovski backstage, which sparked an altercation, Live Mint reported. Arlovski reacted violently by kicking Doherty in the back, quickly intensifying the conflict.

The altercation brought to light the enormous gap between the fighting skills of influencers looking for publicity and professional athletes like Arlovski. When they realised who they were dealing with, Doherty's entourage retreated, according to witnesses. Videos of the fight quickly gained popularity on sites like X and Reddit.
However, it also remains unclear whether the incident was genuine or staged.
In a major bare-knuckle bout, Andrei Arlovski will face Ben Rothwell for the BKFC heavyweight title at KnuckleMania VI on February 7, 2026, in Philadelphia. Arlovski had previously beaten Rothwell twice in MMA. As an MMA fighter, Arlovski has 34 wins and 24 losses.

Former two-time boxing heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul in the sixth round of their fight on Friday night. Joshua was too much for Paul to tackle from the get-go. Before finishing the YouTuber-turned-boxer, Joshua dropped Paul twice in the fifth round of the match. However, Jake Paul did not give in.
Although he tried, Paul lacked the stamina and the skills to make a comeback. As soon as the sixth round began, Joshua attacked Paul with a vicious uppercut and ended the match.
With the defeat to Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul currently has 12 wins and two losses inside the professional ring.
