Jake Paul sustains damaged jaw in loss to Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul revealed his upcoming diet on Saturday morning, the unfortunate result after he sustained a double fracture to his jaw during his loss to Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight boxing bout in Miami.

The Friday night fight was stopped in the sixth round.

“Just got out of surgery. Everything went smooth. Thanks for all the love,” Paul wrote on social media. “Lots of pain and stiffness. Gotta eat liquids for seven days.

“(Shoutout) to the amazing team at Miami University hospital. Everyone was so gracious and caring.”

Paul, a social media influencer-turned-professional boxer, also shared a picture on Instagram that showed him offering two thumbs up after his disastrous night against the former two-time unified heavyweight champion.

The 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) knocked down the 28-year-old Paul (12-2, 7 KOs) twice in the fifth round and twice more in the sixth before it was halted.

Paul showed the damage by posting an X-ray of his jaw to his social media.

“Jake (did) well while it lasted,” Joshua said. “I wish that I could have knocked him out at the start, but as we saw tonight, Jake has spirit. He has some heart.

“He tried his best, and I take my hat off to him because No. 1, a lot of fighters haven’t got in the ring with me, and Jake did. And secondly, even when he got knocked down, he kept on trying to get up, and I take my hat off to him.”
