Jake Paul has confirmed that Anthony Joshua fractured his jaw in two places, with Eddie Hearn cautioning that Paul’s boxing career may be in jeopardy. The knockout occurred in the sixth round of their match in Miami, where Joshua struggled against the YouTuber’s aggressive tactics before ultimately ending the fight with a decisive blow.
Following the bout, Paul immediately sought medical attention due to a suspected broken jaw, which was later verified through X-ray images he shared on social media. Despite the loss, Hearn commended Paul’s performance but expressed concerns about the challenging road ahead in recovering from a broken jaw.
Hearn acknowledged the intensity of the final blow delivered by Joshua and praised Paul’s resilience in staying conscious throughout the match. While recognizing the one-sided nature of the fight, Hearn commended Paul for his courage in facing a formidable opponent like Joshua and enduring significant punishment.
Moving forward, Paul’s physical condition, particularly the severity of his jaw injury, will dictate his recovery process, which Hearn highlighted as a formidable challenge.
