Jake Paul was taken to the hospital after suffering a suspected fractured jaw following his six-round defeat to former world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, in Miami.
The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-professional boxer showed resilience and determination throughout the match but was ultimately overpowered by Joshua’s greater size and punching power.
After the fight, Paul expressed worries that his jaw might be broken, a concern later validated by his promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, who stated that a medical evaluation was necessary and recovery could take between four to six weeks.
Despite this setback, Paul maintained an optimistic outlook in his post-fight comments.
“I feel good. It was enjoyable, and I truly love this sport,” he said, while sharing graphic images and videos on social media that showcased the physical impact of the fight.
The former cruiserweight contender mentioned that he plans to take a short rest before continuing his career, with his sights still set on competing for a cruiserweight world title.
“We’ll heal the jaw, come back stronger, and fight opponents in my weight class. Anthony Joshua is an excellent champion. I lost, but that’s part of boxing. I’ll return and keep moving forward,” Paul stated.
Reflecting on the fight itself, Paul acknowledged that fatigue significantly influenced the outcome.
“I became tired while trying to cope with his size and weight. With better conditioning, I believe I could have lasted longer. I gave it everything I had,” he added.
