Jake Paul has gone to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after he was stopped by Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight fight in Miami.
The American went six rounds with the two-time heavyweight world champion but failed to beat the count following repeated knockdowns.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer hit the canvas twice in the fifth and sixth rounds and said in his post-fight comments he believed his jaw was “definitely” broken.
The 28-year-old missed the post-fight news conference as a result and Most Valuable Promotions chief Nakisa Bidarian confirmed Paul had gone to hospital.
“We think he broke his jaw. But he’s fine,” Bidarian said.
“He took a shower, he drove himself to hospital. A broken jaw is very common in sports, particularly in boxing or MMA. The recovery time is four to six weeks.”
