Jake Paul has shared a video from a hospital bed following his clash with Anthony Joshua, where he suffered significant injuries after lasting six rounds with the former two-time heavyweight champion, reports BritPanorama.
X-rays have confirmed that Paul has a double break in his jaw. Despite a slow start, Joshua increased his tempo after the first four rounds, resulting in two knockdowns in the fifth round.
After applying pressure, the Olympic gold medalist delivered a decisive right hand that sent Paul crashing to the canvas in the sixth. The strike left Paul spitting blood as he conducted a post-fight interview, where he mentioned a suspected jaw injury, later confirmed in the hospital.
In the video shared from his hospital stay, Paul, wearing a Jake vs Joshua T-shirt and shorts, is seen hooked up to various tubes for monitoring. He used a lighthearted voice-over quote from the film Ted to appeal to his followers, captioning it: “Broken jaw guys thanks for all the support I’m ok.”

In the chaos of the boxing world, the outcome serves as a stark reminder of the sport’s physical toll and the thin line between glory and pain. Here, even the brightest stars can find themselves at their most vulnerable.
