Jake Paul recently underwent a second surgical procedure on the broken jaw he suffered in his Dec. 19 knockout loss to Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n

“Had to get another jaw surgery,” Paul wrote on Instagram<\/a> on Friday. “The screws and plates were coming loose because apparently I didn’t rest for the past 2 months whaattttttttt.”<\/p>\n

Paul (12-2) was brutally knocked out in the sixth round by Joshua, the former two-time unified heavyweight champion, and stated that his jaw was broken during the postfight interview.<\/p>\n

Paul’s jaw was fractured in two places, and he had his first surgery<\/a> Dec. 20, when two titanium plates were inserted on each side and teeth were removed.<\/p>\n

Although Paul has insisted that he wouldn’t be out of action long, the second procedure will almost certainly keep him away from boxing for the immediate future.<\/p>\n

Despite the injury, Paul has remained active on social media and in the public eye, most recently celebrating his fianc\u00e9e, Jutta Leerdam, for her record-breaking gold medal performance in the women’s 1,000-meter speedskating competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
