Jake Paul reveals career uncertainty after jaw injury from Anthony Joshua fight
American professional boxer, influencer, and actor Jake Paul has told those who care to listen that his boxing career is in doubt because of injuries he sustained during his loss to British heavyweight Anthony Joshua in December.
Paul, who made the admission in a recent interview, revealed that he is getting new scans in a couple of days after having two titanium plates fitted and some teeth removed after Joshua broke his jaw during their last fight, a heavyweight bout staged in Miami.
He disclosed further that he is yet to get an update on the healing process of his jaw from doctors, as he needs to get cleared before he ventures into the ring for any fight.

However, the YouTuber-turned-boxer further casts doubts on the possibility of him returning to the ring when he cast doubts on his ability to get fit again for boxing action.
“I’m getting some new scans in a couple of days, of the jaw, to get an update on the healing process. We’ll see what the doctors say,” he said on The Ariel Helwani Show.
“I think I’ll be able to get a more accurate timeframe, or can I even fight again? That is definitely in the realm of possibility.
“It does feel a lot better as weeks go by, but I definitely need to get cleared to be able to spar. I’m staying in shape and enjoying some mitt work. I’m always in the gym regardless.”
