Jake Paul has confirmed that Anthony Joshua broke his jaw in two places, with promoter Eddie Hearn cautioning that Paul’s boxing future may be in jeopardy. The knockout occurred in the sixth round of their bout in Miami, where Joshua struggled against Paul’s elusive tactics before ultimately landing the decisive blow.
Following the fight, Paul rushed himself to the hospital after suspecting a broken jaw, which was later verified by X-ray images he shared on social media. Hearn commended Paul for his effort but acknowledged the challenges of recovering from such a serious injury.
Hearn praised Paul for his resilience in the ring, noting the difficulty of facing a heavyweight like Joshua. Despite the one-sided nature of the fight, Hearn emphasized the courage and determination displayed by Paul, urging critics to recognize the risks and efforts involved in professional boxing. Paul’s physical condition, particularly the severity of his jaw injury, will determine his future in the sport.
