Overview
- Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round in Miami, leaving Paul with double jaw fractures that required titanium plates, tooth removal, and a short liquid‑diet recovery.
- On Logan Paul’s podcast, Jake Paul said Joshua’s power “surprised my jaw,” cited only three weeks to bulk up, and called skipping altitude training his biggest mistake.
- Eddie Hearn rejected Paul’s assertion that he “wobbled” Joshua, calling the bout a horrendous mismatch and noting the Florida commission has not released official scorecards.
- Promoter statements and reporting point to talks for a February or March return against Rico Verhoeven, with a Tyson Fury showdown targeted later in 2026.
- Public reaction split between taunts and concern, as Conor McGregor mocked Paul’s liquid diet in a since‑deleted post and Joe Rogan urged him to consider stepping away due to long‑term health risks.
