In a highly anticipated bout at the Kaseya Center in the city of Miami, former influencer turned boxer Jake Paul was defeated by knockout in the sixth round by former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua. The victory came after a powerful punch to the jaw that dropped Paul to the canvas, forcing the referee to stop the fight immediately.
Following the bout, Jake Paul confirmed on his social media that he had suffered a double jaw fracture, even sharing an X-ray of the serious injury and describing the moment with defiant humor, while challenging other fellow boxers as he recovers from the incident.
The American fighter was taken to a hospital, where he underwent successful surgery, and later explained that he will need to consume only liquids for at least a week while his jaw heals.
What does a double jaw fracture mean for his boxing career?
An injury of this kind requires significant recovery time and could keep Paul out of the ring for weeks or even months, potentially affecting his future fight plans and forcing the former influencer to reconsider his path in high-level professional boxing.
