Jake Paul Says Training Choices Cost Him as He Recovers From Joshua KO

  • Paul is recovering from surgery for double jaw fractures and said his jaw now contains “four titanium plates.”
  • Anthony Joshua knocked out Paul in the sixth round on Dec. 19 in Miami, with Paul weighing 216 pounds, 27 pounds lighter than the former heavyweight champion.
  • Joshua downplayed Paul’s punching as “alright,” while reports differ on in‑ring stats, with varying accounts of knockdown totals and punches landed.
  • Paul floated Francis Ngannou as a potential future opponent, and Joe Rogan voiced concern on his podcast about possible long‑term damage from the knockout.
