Jake Paul Undergoes Jaw Surgery After Joshua KO, Double Fracture Confirmed

Paul's jaw surgery places his career on hold under a standard medical suspension.

Overview

  • Anthony Joshua stopped Jake Paul in the sixth round in Miami in a bout streamed globally on Netflix.
  • Hours after the fight, Paul posted radiographs confirming a double fracture of the jaw.
  • Paul said surgery was successful, noting titanium plates were placed and some teeth were removed, with a short liquid-only recovery period.
  • The Florida Athletic Commission imposed routine medical suspensions on both fighters following the bout.
  • A large size and experience gap — Joshua at 243.4 lb versus Paul at 216.6 lb under a 245-lb cap — renewed scrutiny of celebrity matchmaking, even as Paul publicly called out Canelo Álvarez.
