Jake Paul has revealed he underwent a second surgery on his jaw, two months after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua. The American influencer-turned-boxer suffered a broken jaw in the December bout and initially had surgery shortly after the fight.
In an Instagram post, Paul said the screws and plates from the first operation had come loose. He shared photos and videos from hospital, including clips joking about having a mechanised jaw. His girlfriend, Dutch speed-skater Jutta Leerdam, was by his side.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua has had a difficult period despite his victory. Ten days after the fight, he was involved in a car crash in Nigeria that killed two of his teammates. Joshua returned to training in January but has not yet confirmed his next fight.
Promoter Eddie Hearn suggested Joshua could return in late summer, possibly in July, with a potential fight against Tyson Fury now unlikely until late 2026 or early 2027. Hearn also mentioned rumours of a bout with Oleksandr Usyk, who twice defeated Joshua on points.
