Jake Paul stepped into the ring with Anthony Joshua and didn’t get the result he wanted in the Netflix main event on Friday night.
“I think my jaw is broke, by the way,” Paul said during his in-ring interview. ‘It’s definitely broke.”
Paul did not take part in a post-fight press conference as he went to the hospital to address the injury, per MMA Junkie’s Danny Segura. A video of Paul shared on social media appeared to show Paul’s back teeth misaligned with his front teeth.
Joshua was credited with knocking Paul down on multiple occasions during the contest.
Paul was not fully discouraged about his boxing future following the loss, but said he would take some time off to recover and figure out his next fight.
Paul sustained a bloodied mouth after Joshua delivered a right-handed punch to the face in the corner. Paul dropped to the ground and the fight was declared over by the referee.
‘The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down and hurt him,’ Joshua said during an in-ring interview. ‘… It took a little bit longer than expected. But, the right hand finally found its destination.’
