Paul goes to hospital with suspected broken jaw

After Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul during their heavyweight fight in Miami, he was taken to the hospital with a suspected broken jaw.

Following numerous knockdowns, the American attempted to beat the two-time heavyweight world champion after six rounds.

In his post-fighting comments, the YouTuber-turned-boxer claimed his jaw was “definitely” broken and that he had hit the canvas twice in the fifth and sixth rounds.

Due to this, the 28-year-old missed the post-fight press conference, where Nakisa Bidarian, Most Valuable Promotions’ CEO, confirmed that Paul had been hospitalized.

He probably broke his jaw, we believe. But he’s fine, Bidarian said.

The Briton’s big punches were a clear example of Paul’s underdog behavior in his fight against Joshua, which he allegedly used with his speed and footwork to avoid him.

Due to the fighters’ weight differences and lack of experience, criticism was leveled at the fight.

Paul, who has spent the majority of his career at cruiserweight, says he plans to take a “some time off” from boxing.

“We will come back and fight people my weight,” the statement read. He declared, “I want to win the cruiserweight world title.”

With a propensity to disrupt the sport, Paul has a career that is impossible to predict.

Paul had a fantasy face-to-Joe a few months ago, but he has now crossed that off his wishlist.

Paul was campaigning at cruiserweight before the WBA announced that he would be ranked at number 14 in July.

If he wants to fight for a world title in the future, it would seem most logical to return to that division because he has since fallen into that division.

After losing to Joshua, Most Valuable Promotions chief Bidarian claimed that Paul “drove himself to hospital” to be checked for a suspected broken jaw and that he may need “four to six weeks” to recover.

In the WBA cruiserweight rankings, Paul might start staring at those who are ahead of him, including Manchester’s Pat Brown, once he has the green card to compete in 2026.

Brown has won five professional fights, and he might be able to win one to improve his standing.

In another alternative, Paul will continue to pursue one of the biggest names still active in the sport, facing four-weight world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
