Jake Paul Has Second Surgery After Jaw Injury Linked to Anthony Joshua Fight
It’s been months since Jake Paul faced former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in a shocking professional bout that stunned fans. Joshua stepped in as a substitute after Gervonta Davis withdrew from the scheduled fight, surprising many experts across the boxing world community.
Critics openly questioned the matchup, arguing it risked credibility and safety inside the professional boxing landscape for both fighters. Despite concerns, Paul showed confidence and survived six competitive rounds before suffering a brutal knockout defeat from Joshua’s heavy punches.
The loss left him hospitalized with a jaw broken in two places, requiring immediate complex surgery and extensive recovery time. Months later, Paul revealed he recently undergone a second surgical procedure to address lingering complications from the initial severe injury.
“Had to get another jaw surgery. The screws and plates were coming loose because apparently I didn’t rest for the past 2 months whaattttttttt,” wrote Jake Paul via Instagram.
Paul was seen with his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, who recently made headlines for winning two medals at winter Olympics in Milan. Paul was there to support her and was seen in tears following Leerdam’s record-breaking win.
Paul has attracted severe criticism for his recent comments on Bad Bunny being a fake American following his Super Bowl performance. Regardless of all this drama, fans are excited to see what’s next for the ‘Problem Child’ in his next professional boxing outing.

Veteran commentator Joe Rogan warns Jake Paul following recent knockout loss
In his early boxing years, Jake Paul was relentlessly mocked by fans who refused to take him seriously as a fighter. Over time, he silenced critics by fighting respected combat sports veterans and gradually building undeniable credibility worldwide inside professional boxing.
Against Anthony Joshua, despite losing, Paul reportedly earned over $90 million, proving his immense commercial drawing power in modern boxing. However, Joe Rogan warned that facing significantly bigger opponents carries serious long-term health risks for him in brutal boxing.
“Don’t do this for very long, because there is a price you pay that is not worth it. There were a lot of concussions in that one punch by Joshua. That was real damage. If someone breaks your jaw in two places, the inside of your head is taking damage too,” said Joe Rogan via JRE.
Currently, Jake Paul has yet to announce his next fight, but according to his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, the fighter will be back around August. There are rumours about Paul fighting Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez; however, Bidarian has also mentioned names such as Tommy Fury.
