"I think my jaw is broken" - Jake Paul confirms major injury after loss to Anthony Joshua

Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is in the books, and much like many had anticipated, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion came out on top with a KO win. As the curtain falls on the event, it seems Paul is set for a long layoff after seemingly suffering a major injury.

However, it appears 'The Problem Child' is content with his performance. When Ariel Helwani asked him about his feelings after suffering a knockout loss to Joshua, Paul said:

"I've already won in every single way in life. My family, my beautiful fiancée, Jutta [Lederman]. This sport has helped me so much in my life. I think my jaw is broken, by the way."

'The Problem Child', however, confirmed that he is still intent on chasing a world title, but at cruiserweight, which is his natural weight class.

Paul vs. Joshua played out much differently than most anticipated. While the majority of the boxing community believed 'AJ' would get his far less experienced opponent out of there early, it took him six rounds.

The early rounds saw 'The Problem Child' refusing to exchange with his opponent, circling around and settling for landing the odd jab. Unable to cut the ring off on his opponent, 'AJ' grew increasingly frustrated.

After the midpoint of the eight-round clash, however, Paul's gas tank seemingly started to fade, forcing him to engage more with Joshua. This marked the beginning of the end, with the former world champion scoring two knockdowns in Round 5.

Smelling blood, 'AJ' came out in the sixth round with vicious intent, denying his opponent a breather. After a vicious flurry, the seasoned heavyweight backed Paul into the corner and unleashed a nuclear right hand, forcing the referee to stop the fight.
