That is definitely within the realm of possibilities. The jaw does feel a lot better as the weeks go by, but I definitely need to be cleared first to spar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost definitely (my fighting future is in doubt),\u201d he added. \u201cIt just depends on how the bone heals. Then there\u2019s also a tooth missing in the back. I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019m going to have to get an implanted tooth of some sort. I\u2019m not sure how much time that\u2019s going to add, but we just have to see and figure out what the smartest thing is for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An actor and social media personality, Paul began fighting in 2018 and is 12-2 with seven knockouts as a professional.<\/p>\n<p>His most notable fight came against Mike Tyson in November 2024 in Texas, where Paul won an eight-round bout by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Paul also co-founded Most Valuable Promotions, which is scheduled to host the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano MMA fight on Saturday on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Paul had not been knocked out until Joshua did so in the sixth round last December in Miami. Paul hopes that will not be his last appearance in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose doubts have come up, but I\u2019m not done,\u201d Paul said. \u201cI can just feel it in my spirit, my soul and my heart that I have more fights left and unfinished business. Injuries are a part of any sport. You can tear an ACL and be out, and keep tearing it again. It\u2019s just part of sports, and I definitely don\u2019t think I\u2019m done and I want to keep fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/JN9LXf.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n                    The Daily Sabah Newsletter\n                <\/p>\n<p>\n                    Keep up to date with what\u2019s happening in Turkey,<br \/>\n                    it\u2019s region and the world.\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    SIGN ME UP\n                <\/p>\n<p>\n                    You can unsubscribe at any time.
