On Instagram, Jake Paul shared footage of the severe injuries he sustained after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in Miami.
The boxing match was one-sided from the beginning as the YouTuber was repeatedly floored by the British athlete during the fight, which was exclusively streamed on Netflix.
The bout concluded in the sixth round at the Kaseya Center when Joshua delivered a decisive straight right hand.
Following the match, Paul was seen spitting blood and disclosed that Joshua had fractured his jaw.
“Anthony’s a great fighter, I got my ass beat, but that’s what this sport’s about,” stated Paul. “I think my jaw is broken by the way.
“Yeah, it’s definitely broke. But man, that was good. A nice little a** whipping from one of the best to ever do it.
“I love this so I’m going to come back and get a world championship belt at some point.”
Paul later verified his jaw was broken in two places, posting on X (formerly Twitter): “Double broken jaw. Give me Canelo in 10 days.”
He also uploaded an X-ray image showing the two fractures.
In a video uploaded to Instagram, someone from Paul’s team recorded the extent of his injuries, showing his teeth misaligned and pointing in the wrong direction.
The video was censored by Instagram, and the platform applied a graphic content warning to the post.
“It’s fine right,” Paul humorously captioned the clip.

After the sixth-round conclusion, Paul skipped many media obligations as he headed to the hospital for medical care.
Many observers were surprised that Paul managed to withstand six rounds against Joshua, but Paul claimed he could have continued if he had improved conditioning.
“I’m not surprised, I just got tired,” he remarked.
“It was just so much handling his weight. If I had better cardio I could have maybe kept on fighting. But he did amazing and he hits really hard.”
Even though Joshua dominated the match, the British fighter described his performance as less than optimal.
“It wasn’t the best performance. It wasn’t the best,” he admitted. “The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down and hurt him. That has been the request leading up. That was on my mind.
“It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination. Jake Paul – he’s done really well tonight. I want to give him his props.”
