Don’t let your lips change like Jake Paul did in his boxing loss to Anthony Joshua on Friday at Caseya Center in Miami.
Immediately after his sixth-round TKO loss, Paul indicated that he believed he had broken his jaw, a statement later echoed by his manager Nakisa Bidalian. Shortly after the fight, Paul posted some evidence that seemed to support his claims.
First, Paul shared a short clip on Instagram of a mouth filled with blood. However, what caught my eye the most was the lower left tooth, which was badly aligned and stuck out backwards.
“It’s okay, right?” Paul said, perhaps sarcastically.
Next, confirmation became even more difficult. X-rays showed that Paul’s jaw was broken in two places instead of one.
Vidalian said Paul, 28, skipped the post-game press conference and went straight to the hospital.
He may be limited in speaking over the next few weeks, but that may not be a problem for Paul as plenty of viewers will be doing plenty of chatting on his behalf. Regardless of his detractors and a few supporters, Paul will still be smiling and heading to the bank even if he falls to 12-2.
