Jake Paul was taken to the hospital with a suspected fractured jaw after being stopped by Anthony Joshua in the sixth round of his heavyweight match in Miami. Paul, a former YouTuber turned boxer, managed to last six rounds against the two-time world champion but could not get up after several knockdowns. In the fifth and sixth rounds, he fell twice, and in his post-fight comments, he stated that he believes his jaw is "definitely" fractured. At the post-fight press conference, Paul was not present, and Nakisa Bidarian, the head of Most Valuable Promotions, confirmed that he was taken to the hospital. Bidarian mentioned that Paul drove himself to the hospital and that, although a fractured jaw is common in sports like boxing or MMA, he is doing well. The estimated recovery time is four to six weeks.
