Paul has AJ inflicted on his jaw with a devastating straight right hand.
The social media sensation revealed last week that it could be at least “SIX MONTHS” before he can resume sparring again.
But that admission hasn’t stopped him from teasing a ring return on social media.
On Monday, the 29-year-old posted a video of himself hitting pads with one of his coaches to his Instagram and X pages with “announcement March 18” briefly emblazoned across the clip.
His accompanying caption read: “You won’t expect this one hahahaha
“Announcement coming in 2 days, March 18th.”
Paul’s legion of followers, as well as fans, were quick to speculate on the imminent announcement.
One commented: “ITS JAKE VS IM CALLING IT NOWWW.”

Another said: “?”
And another said: “Jake Paul with a surprise announcement. God help us all.”
One remarked: “Who is it, Jakey? Leak the news, leak it!!”
Another chimed in: “It’s again.”
Paul was last week unsure of when he’ll be back in the ring, although he’s certain his next outing won’t be at heavyweight.
He said: “[It] definitely will be a cruiserweight.
“Joshua’s punches hurt way more than people in my weight class.
“That’s where I’m best at, for sure, and where I want to continue to climb in the rankings and make some statements.”
