Last yr in Dec. 2025, Jake Paul suffered a humiliating loss to Anthony Joshua during their boxing match on the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Dominating the whole match, Joshua punched Paul hard within the jaw before securing a sixth-round victory over him.
Nonetheless, the impact of the punch was devastating, leaving Paul’s jaw broken. It required immediate surgery. Nonetheless, just a few months later, “The Problem Child” again needed to undergo one other surgery to repair the aftermath of that punch. Sharing an update on Instagram, Paul revealed the explanations for his recent surgery.
“Needed to get one other jaw surgery. The screws and plates were coming loose because apparently I didn’t rest for the past 2 months [what].”
Paul uploaded several photos and videos to share his current status and document his return to the hospital. The photographs/videos showed him preparing for the procedure in addition to riding a wheelchair to the operating room. Paul admitted on social media that he did not get proper rest, which ultimately led to his current state.
Joe Rogan fears long-term damage after Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight
Shortly after Anthony Joshua reigned supreme over Jake Paul, UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan shared his concerns and fears over Paul suffering long-term damage from the fight and the punch to the jaw.
“Don’t do that very long because there is a price that you simply pay that shouldn’t be value it,” Rogan said. “And that price is depression, deep depression, a severe brain imbalance that is going to steer you to addiction. It leads so many individuals to impulsive behavior. So many individuals turn into gambling addicts, drug addicts, alcoholics after their fighting profession.”
