Joshua’s KO Leaves Jake Paul With Double Jaw Fracture as Netflix Audience Hits 33 Million

Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua is slated to return in February 2026 with Tyson Fury talks led by Turki Al‑Sheikh.

Overview

  • Jake Paul underwent surgery for a double mandibular fracture and has reported difficulty speaking, a liquid diet and tooth extractions.
  • Accounts differ on the operation’s details, with Paul at times citing two titanium plates and elsewhere describing four plates to stabilize both sides of the jaw.
  • Paul posted radiographs and post‑op images on social media and, despite the injury, continued calling out future opponents, including a challenge to Canelo Álvarez.
  • Netflix said the Miami bout averaged 33 million viewers per minute worldwide and ranked No. 1 in 45 countries, with a record gate at the Kaseya Center.
  • Estimates peg Joshua’s purse near $92 million before substantial U.S. and U.K. tax liabilities, leaving roughly half as take‑home, according to multiple reports.
