JUST IN: THE "UNSEEN" X-RAYS SHOWING TITANIUM PLATES INSIDE JAKE PAUL’S BROKEN JAW

"My jaw is broken." Jake Paul breaks the silence after Joshua's knockout, revealing surgery details and a 6-week recovery plan.

JUST IN: The "unseen" X-rays showing titanium plates inside Jake Paul’s broken jaw
What Jake Paul’s team is hiding about his secret hospital visit today

Word is Jake Paul got messed up pretty good in that fight with Anthony Joshua, but it doesn’t seem career-ending, at least from what we know. He broke his jaw in two spots on December 19, 2025, in Miami and had to get surgery. He mentioned titanium plates and dental work, and he's on a liquid diet for a week.

Normally, an injury like that sets you back for a few weeks, but it's not unusual in fighting sports, and there's a standard fix. What we haven't heard yet is important. Besides the jaw and dental work, his team hasn't said anything about other injuries.

So, what went down in the fight, and how did Joshua stop it in Round 6 with a broken jaw?

Basically, it was a famous online dude trying his luck against a former heavyweight champ with a big punch. Early on, Jake Paul tried to be quick, pick his shots, and not get caught up in long exchanges. Joshua was calm and careful at first, trying to get his timing right and waiting for openings.

That changed as the fight went on. News sources said that Paul “got away from” Joshua in the first four rounds before Joshua figured him out, knocked him down twice in the fifth, and finished it with a “big right hand” in the sixth that broke Paul's jaw in two places.

The important thing about the injury is how the fight ended. A solid shot to the lower face is a common way to break your jaw, and that seems to be what happened here. According to news reports from December 20, 2025, Anthony Joshua said,

“It took me a bit, but I finally landed the right hand.”

Jake Paul’s reaction after the fight also showed something was really wrong. He was spitting blood and talking about his jaw before any official word came out. News sources from December 20, 2025, quoted Jake Paul as saying,

“I think my jaw is broken… It’s for sure broken, but man, that was good.”

After that, everyone started focusing on treatment. News reported that Joshua knocked Paul down twice in the fifth round and twice more in the sixth before they stopped the fight. Paul didn't go to the post-fight press conference because he was dealing with the injury. The usual media stuff got replaced with a trip to the hospital.

Paul’s promoter talked about how quickly things turned medical. According to news reports from December 20, 2025, Most Valuable Promotions CEO Nakisa Bidarian said,

“He showered and drove himself to the hospital.”

He also said,

“A broken jaw is very common in sports, especially boxing or MMA. It takes about four to six weeks to recover.”

That doesn't mean he'll be fighting again right away, but it gives you an idea of how serious it is. A jaw broken in two places usually means dealing with pain, a limited diet, keeping your mouth clean, and not doing any contact training until you get the okay. That usually means no sparring, no hitting the pads hard, and not risking another injury while the bone heals.

Did Jake Paul actually break his jaw? What's confirmed about the surgery, the hospital, and all the injuries?

Yeah, Jake Paul said he broke his jaw in two places, and a lot of news outlets are saying the same thing. The sure facts are these: jaw broken in two places, bleeding from the mouth after the fight, surgery, titanium plates, and dental work where they took out some teeth. He's also mentioned pain, stiffness, and being on a liquid diet for a week.

In an online message from December 20, 2025, Jake Paul wrote,

“Surgery went well. Thanks for all the love and support. 2 titanium plates on each side. Some teeth removed. Have to have only liquids for 7 days, so no yummy dogs :(.”

News also said that Joshua ended the fight with a big punch to Paul’s jaw, knocking him down for the final time, and that Paul posted the X-ray and updates after surgery. That agrees with news reports that Paul thanked the doctors at Miami University Hospital after surgery.

What hasn't been said is just as important. Jake Paul's side hasn't said anything about a concussion, broken eye socket, broken nose, rib injury, or anything else other than the broken jaw and dental work. So, if you're wondering about all the injuries, right now the only ones we know for sure are the broken jaw and the related dental and surgical stuff.

Just so you know, doctors say that jaw fractures usually need weeks to heal and a restricted diet after they're fixed, especially if you need plates or something to keep the jaw stable.

EGIS KLIMAS CONFIRMS MULTI-FIGHT AGREEMENT FOR OLEKSANDR USYK VS DEONTAY WILDER 2026

Oleksandr Usyk's manager, Egis Klimas, confirms a "very likely" 2026 fight against Deontay Wilder in either Las Vegas or Los Angeles.

Oleksandr Usyk vacated the WBO title for a Wilder bout

A possible fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder may happen at the following time, according to Usyk’s manager.

In 2025, Oleksandr Usyk had only one bout in the ring, where he knocked out Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their rematch.

After that fight, there were rumours that the Ukrainian may retire from the sport because of had almost cleared out the heavyweight division.

Despite that, rumours were soon debunked, and the former undisputed heavyweight champion announced that he would be interested in facing former heavyweight title holder Deontay Wilder.

Usyk’s Manager Offers Date for Wilder Bout

It was reported a few weeks ago that Usyk had voluntarily relinquished his WBO heavyweight title. As a result, he is no longer undisputed.

Shortly after that announcement, the 38-year-old revealed he would like to fight ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ deeming him ‘one of the greatest heavyweights of the last 10 years.’

And when he was at the Night of the Samurai event last week, Usyk again was asked about his next potential opponent, and he repeated his desire to face Wilder.

On the likelihood of the fight, Usyk’s representative Egis Klimas told The National, “It’s very likely (we will see Usyk vs. Wilder). Because right now we’re working on it, and we’re working on some multi-fight agreement for Oleksandr.

“As soon as we confirm that, we’re going to jump in. And some talks are already going on with the team of Wilder. We’re looking at Las Vegas or Los Angeles, and the dates are the end of April and the beginning of May.”

The Ukrainian hasn't boxed Stateside since 2019, when he faced Chazz Witherspoon in his first heavyweight bout.

The selection of Wilder, however, is quite surprising, given his recent performance. The 40-year-old boxer is 2-3 in his last five bouts, suffering defeats at the hands of Zhilei Zhang, Joseph Parker, and Tyson Fury.

Would Usyk retire after the upcoming fight with Wilder? At the age of 38, the reality is that Usyk very likely has only a few bouts left in him at the very most. With the bulk of the heavyweight rankings already knocked out, there would be very little opposition left in the sport for Usyk, and retirement after a bout with Wilder would be expected.

32-0 AND COUNTING: IS NAOYA INOUE OFFICIALLY THE GREATEST OF THIS GENERATION?

Naoya Inoue wraps up a flawless 2025, tying Muhammad Ali’s record with four undisputed title defences in a single calendar year.

Inoue defends undisputed status four times to win 2025 FOTY.

Inoue wrapped up 2025 with a flawless 4-0, defending his super-bantamweight title four times around the globe and proving he's the best in boxing. Beating Alan Picasso put him back on top of the pound-for-pound rankings, solidifying his place as the sport's biggest name.

Lots of fighters had great moments this year, but no one else showed the same level of consistent dominance, historical importance, and activity that Inoue did.

An Amazing Year of Championship Wins

Inoue finished the year with a 32-0 record (27 KOs) after wins against Ye Joon Kim, Ramon Cardenas, Murodjon Akhmadaliev, and Alan Picasso. Each fight showed his command of the division, from quick knockouts to smart, well-fought decision wins against top contenders.

People noticed his cool demeanour, accuracy, and how he changes his strategy during fights, proving why he's considered the best.

Looking back at 2025, Inoue said, I wasn't sure about it myself, but I'll do my best to meet your expectations. To everyone who came to Riyadh and cheered us on, thanks a lot for your support.

We had so much support this year. Thanks! Happy New Year!

By successfully defending all four major belts four times this year, Inoue is the only male undisputed world champ left in boxing. He stayed active without injuries or performance drops, which set him apart from everyone else with a title.

While others picked and chose their fights, Inoue was always ready to put his title on the line.

Historical Wins and Worldwide Success

Besides being undefeated, Inoue's 2025 was historically awesome. He tied Muhammad Ali's record by defending the undisputed title four times in a single year.

Inoue also set a new record for the most consecutive world title fight wins, beating records held by Floyd Mayweather and Joe Louis.

His consistency across different countries was just as impressive. Inoue had amazing performances in Japan, the US, and Saudi Arabia, proving he's not just a local star but the most complete global champ in the sport.

This year, Inoue was the best in every category.

While other fighters had strong arguments, no one maintained undisputed control while building their legacy like Inoue did this year.

Inoue's multiple title defences made him the obvious choice.

A Familiar Honour, Earned Again

This is Inoue's second time winning WBN Fighter of the Year, after his undisputed wins in two divisions in 2023.

Winning again shows how great he is at the highest level of boxing. Very few fighters today have combined dominance with constant activity while adding to their legacy.

What's Next?

As 2025 ends, Inoue is not just boxing’s top champ, but the standard for sustained dominance. His wins have him moving from talking about what he could do to what his legacy will be. Future performances will be compared to what he’s already done.

The win over Picasso and return to number one P4P just shows he's unmatched.
