Has he released a retirement statement? &amp; Is Jake Paul suing Anthony Joshua? Here are all the details.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua\u2019s fight resulted in a brutal loss and broken jaw for the YouTuber, and now, possible reports of Jake retiring from boxing \u2013 but is it true?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">The fight on December 20th, taking over the city of Miami, was a highlight of people\u2019s Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Over 60 million households globally were locked into the fight, with a 6th round knockout.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jake Paul &amp; Anthony Joshua\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"780126\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/780126\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Jake Paul &amp; Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>        Picture:<br \/>\nGetty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Jake Paul was left with a broken jaw, accompanied by viral photos of his hugely swollen jaw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">The savage loss was bound to come, say some fans, who were unsure how the fight was even set up in the first place, with AJ being a previous heavyweight champion and Jake Paul being a YouTube boxer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">But now, there are talks of the LA-based sports personality quitting boxing entirely.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jake Paul\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"780129\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/780129\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Jake Paul.<\/p>\n<p>        Picture:<br \/>\nGetty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">What originally started out as a fan theory has quickly spiralled out of control, with reports of Jake\u2019s quitting spreading fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Despite the fast-spreading rumours, the boxer himself has said that he has no plans of stopping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Following his jaw surgery, Jake tweeted: \u201cJaw broken. Time to rest, recover and return to Cruiserweight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jake Paul &amp; Anthony Joshua\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"780130\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/780130\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Jake Paul &amp; Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n<p>        Picture:<br \/>\nGetty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">So, Jake himself seems to have confirmed that he will be continuing his run of celebrity boxing fights, but this time returning to his original weight-class, cruiserweight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">The fight against Anthony Joshua was a clear mismatch, with the YouTuber being five-inches shorter than the British star, as well as there being a 27-pound weight difference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Even with fans&#8217; wishes for Jake Paul\u2019s retirement, it doesn\u2019t yet seem the time for him to call it quits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Now, following his recovery, the question remains, who will he fight next?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Jake Paul &amp; AJ\" class=\"content-image\" data-image-catalogue-id=\"780127\" width=\"660\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/780127\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>    Jake Paul &amp; AJ.<\/p>\n<p>        Picture:<br \/>\nGetty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"22 December 2025, 12:02 Is Jake Paul retiring from boxing amid Anthony Joshua fight?
