Jake Paul's most recent boxing match didn't go so well. He got hurt and had to go to the hospital.

Last Friday night in Miami, Paul boxed against Anthony Joshua, a former heavyweight champ and Olympic gold medalist, in a big event streamed on Netflix. Joshua landed a solid right hand in the sixth round, stopping the fight and leaving Paul hurt.

Confirmation After the Match

Right after the fight, Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's business partner at Most Valuable Promotions, talked about what happened at the press conference. He said Paul's jaw was probably broken.

“We think he broke his jaw,” Bidarian said. “He’s fine. We met with Netflix afterwards. He took a shower, and he drove himself to the hospital. A broken jaw is very common in sports, particularly in boxing or MMA. I think the recovery time from the doctors and surgeons we’ve already talked to is four to six weeks.”

Even though he was injured, Paul didn't leave right away. Bidarian said he did his media stuff, cleaned up, and then went to the hospital himself.

Paul later confirmed he broke his jaw, posting a video from the hospital with his brother Logan, saying, "Broken jaw, guys. Thanks for all the support. I'm OK."

Tough Night Against a Bigger Guy

During the fight, Paul tried to deal with Joshua's size and power by moving around and holding on. But as the fight continued, Joshua started getting into a rhythm and putting on more pressure, landing harder shots as Paul got tired.

Joshua's size was a big advantage as the fight went on. In the middle of round six, a right hand landed cleanly, and the referee stopped the fight.

Good Words Despite Losing

Even though Paul lost, Bidarian said he was proud of Paul's performance, pointing out how tough it was to fight an elite heavyweight with only a little bit of preparation.

“Ultimately, Jake Paul lasted a lot longer than anyone said he was going to,” Bidarian said. “I think he might have won a round or two, or three. He was doing tremendously well in there against a person who is vastly more skilled, vastly larger, and vastly more powerful, and he did it on four weeks’ preparation.”

Bidarian also mentioned that Joshua's constant holding wore Paul down late in the fight.

“I think a great, great game plan and preparation, unbelievable heart,” he added. “The reality is, Jake lost because of the size difference, not because of the skill difference. AJ was hanging on that neck, pushing him down, and when you have someone that heavy constantly doing that, it does suck the energy out of you.”

This was the first time Paul lost by stoppage in his boxing career. He had only lost once before, by decision against Tommy Fury in 2023.

With a broken jaw and a recovery time of four to six weeks, Paul will focus on getting better before deciding what to do next in boxing.

For now, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has made it clear that even with the injury, he's still in good spirits and will continue his fight sports career.

Anthony Joshua KO'd Jake Paul in the sixth round early Saturday. This has people buzzing about a possible fight between him and Tyson Fury again.

After the fight, Paul apparently went to the hospital with a double broken jaw, while Joshua celebrated. Even though Fury said he was retiring earlier this year, people keep talking about him fighting Joshua.

Before Friday's fight, Fury was saying he could beat Joshua easily. The 37-year-old said, He's some old dude fighting a YouTuber, the same one Tommy (Fury) beat.

Here's a fact: If I see you, I'm knocking you out. I'm not a YouTuber. You're just a loser who got KO'd by some guy 15 months ago.

Imagine if someone from Morecambe knocked me out. Useless bum. I hope Jake Paul knocks you out.

No one knows if Fury will actually come out of retirement to fight Joshua. Joshua challenged Fury in the ring Friday night, saying, "We brushed off the rust, and I'm ready for 2026."

If Tyson Fury's serious, he should stop tweeting and put some gloves on. Fight a real fighter who'll take on anyone. Step in the ring with me.

If you're really tough, stop talking smack. Let's see you in the ring.

This is just the latest in their long-running beef outside the ring. Back in 2020, Fury said Joshua's win against Kubrat Pulev wasn't a big deal and that he'd beat Joshua in three rounds.

Fury said, They asked him if he wanted to fight, and he dodged the question. I want to fight him next. I'll knock him out in three rounds!

In 2024, Fury challenged Joshua again after Joshua lost to Daniel Dubois. He said he'd still fight Joshua, no matter how many times he's lost. I feel bad when Joshua loses.

When your rival loses, it's depressing. I felt bad for him. It was sad to see him lose.

I'd still fight him if he had five, ten, or twenty losses. It doesn't matter. At this point, it's about having good fights. It would still be fun and interesting for people to watch.

Now, lots of boxing people think they'll fight eventually. Saudi boxing boss Turki Alalshikh hinted at big plans for Joshua in 2026, maybe even a fight with Fury in September.

Alalshikh told DAZN, I'm talking to Eddie. We have two big events in London next year. It'll be surprising.

Joshua will be in our country in February. Then, there's the big fight, one of the best, maybe in London, in September. You'll find out soon, but in April we'll fight Tottenham. And in September, we'll have a big surprise for the fans in England.

Fury's promoter, Frank Warren, is hoping the fight happens but admits nothing's agreed to yet. Warren told Sky Sports, "We've been talking." Nothing's signed, but Tyson said he'd do it if the deal is right.

Things are going well, and we should have some news soon.

The Ring is reliable, and it's owned by His Excellency. They wouldn't say this if they weren't sure they could make it happen. I think it will.

Warren mentioned Joshua's upcoming fight, adding that AJ is fighting Jake Paul this week, and there's talk of him fighting again early in 2026.

Tyson hasn't fought in a while. He might have a warm-up fight. If this fight happens, it'll be late summer, so he'll probably fight before then.

He's been training hard. He's in shape and wants to fight again. If the deal's right, I think you'll see him back in the ring in 2026.
