Jake Paul has shared footage of the injuries he suffered after being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in a heavyweight boxing match in Miami.
The social media star posted a video to Instagram showing the aftermath of the bout. Paul was stopped in the sixth round after being repeatedly knocked down by the former world champion.
The fight was broadcast exclusively on Netflix and took place at the Kaseya Center.
From the opening rounds, the contest appeared one sided. Joshua dropped Paul several times as the YouTuber struggled with the size and power difference.
The fight ended when a straight right hand from Joshua landed cleanly in the sixth round. The referee immediately stepped in to halt the contest.
After the fight, Paul was seen spitting blood while speaking to cameras. He revealed that he believed his jaw had been broken during the bout.
“Anthony’s a great fighter, I got my ass beat, but that’s what this sport’s about,” Paul said. “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,” he added. “I love this so I’m going to come back and get a world championship belt at some point.”
Medical treatment and reactions after the fight
Paul later confirmed the extent of his injuries on X, formerly Twitter. He wrote: “Double broken jaw. Give me Canelo in 10 days.”
He also shared an X-ray image showing that his jaw had been broken in two places. The post quickly circulated online and drew widespread attention.
In a video shared on Instagram, a member of Paul’s team filmed the visible damage to his mouth. The footage showed his teeth pushed inward and visibly misaligned.
Instagram censored the clip and placed a graphic content warning over the video. Paul captioned the post jokingly, writing: “It’s fine right.”
Following the sixth round stoppage, Paul did not take part in most of the scheduled media duties. He was taken to hospital instead to receive treatment for his injuries.
Despite the defeat, some observers expressed surprise that he lasted six rounds against Joshua.
Paul said he believed he could have continued with better conditioning. “I’m not surprised, I just got tired,” he said. “It was just so much handling his weight.”
He added: “If I had better cardio I could have maybe kept on fighting. But he did amazing and he hits really hard.”
Anthony Joshua later reflected on his own performance after the fight. He described it as effective but not his best showing.
“It wasn’t the best performance. It wasn’t the best,” Joshua said. “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,” he added. “It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination.”
Joshua also praised his opponent, saying: “Jake Paul – he’s done really well tonight. I want to give him his props.”
