Jake Paul Hospitalized After Suffering Knockout Defeat To Anthony Joshua

Popular American boxer, Jake Paul was rushed to hospital after his fight with Anthony Joshua.

Jake was hospitalized after he suffered a suspected fractured jaw following his six-round loss to Joshua, a former world heavyweight champion, in Miami.

The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-professional boxer displayed resilience and determination throughout the bout but was ultimately overpowered by Joshua’s superior size and punching strength.

Speaking after the fight, Paul revealed concerns that his jaw may have been broken, a claim later confirmed by his promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, who said medical evaluation was required and recovery could take between four and six weeks.

Despite the setback, Paul struck an optimistic tone in his post-fight remarks.

“I feel good. It was fun, and I genuinely love this sport,” he said, while sharing graphic images and videos on social media highlighting the physical toll of the contest.

The former cruiserweight contender stated that he intends to take a brief rest period before resuming his career, with his sights still set on challenging for a cruiserweight world title.

“We’ll heal the jaw, come back stronger and fight opponents in my weight class. Anthony Joshua is a great champion. I lost, but that’s part of boxing. I’ll return and keep pushing forward,” Paul said.

Reflecting on the fight itself, Paul admitted fatigue played a major role in the outcome.

“I got tired trying to manage his size and weight. With better conditioning, I think I could have lasted longer. I gave it everything I had,” he added.
