Jake Paul had a bad night on Friday as he was beaten by former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, scoring a sixth-round knockout of the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Paul said he suffered a “bi-jaw fracture” and posted an X-ray on Instagram showing the two places where the fracture occurred.
Paul certainly kept his sense of humor even after being knocked down four times and outclassed in every way due to a nearly 30-pound weight difference (and an obvious disparity in boxing skills).
“Both jaws are broken,” Paul wrote on Instagram. “Please return Canelo within 10 days.”
In what appeared to be a hospital room, Paul also posted about his health condition, saying, “Thank you for all the support, I’m fine.”
Nakisa Bidalian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, said Paul (12-2, 7 KOs) drove himself to the hospital after the fight.
“We think he broke his jaw, but he’s fine. He took a shower and drove himself to the hospital,” Bidalian said. “Jaw fractures are common in sports, especially boxing and mixed martial arts. Recovery takes four to six weeks.”
Paul said he had been working hard on boxing for six years and was planning to take a break for a while.
“Good. Great, one of the best ever. I love this. And I’m going to come back and get the world championship belt,” he said.
“We’re going to get my broken jaw fixed and come back and fight people at my weight. I’m going for the cruiserweight world title.”
