Jake Paul is facing a mandatory 60-day suspension from the Florida Athletic Commission following his knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua. The 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer was stopped in the sixth round of their controversial bout, with the ban potentially extended if the knockout is deemed severe.
Paul, who revealed he fought with a broken jaw, admitted he will take time to consider his next move. 'I’ve already won in every single way in life, my family, my jaw is broken by the way, it’s definitely broke, nice little a** whooping from one of the best to ever do it,' he said. Despite being outclassed, Paul remains focused on a cruiserweight world title.
Joshua, who had vowed to 'kill' Paul before the fight, was critical of his own performance. 'It wasn't the best performance. The goal was to get Jake Paul out and hurt him. Jake Paul has done really well tonight. I want to give him his props, he got up, time and time again,' said the former Olympic champion.
Paul's suspension is standard procedure for knockout losses, but he is not expected to return within the ban period. The 'Problem Child' plans to heal his broken jaw and eventually fight at cruiserweight.
