Some teeth removed.

He ultimately left the podcast after less than 15 minutes because he was in pain, which didn&#8217;t bode well for how he felt. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4n\">What&#8217;s for sure is that a broken jaw is an extremely concerning injury for a professional boxer. There are numerous instances of guys who were never the same after getting their jaws broken in the ring, as any punch to the affected area could create even more damage.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Paul receives indefinite suspension after loss to Anthony Joshua<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01kcya15j94gnra8zwrn.jpg\" alt=\"Jake Paul\" title=\"Jake Paul\" width=\"3307\" height=\"1860\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"4z\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jake Paul | Esther Lin \/ Most Valuable Promotions<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"53\">These concerns about his jaw are surely why Jake Paul has received an indefinite medical suspension from the Florida Athletic Commission, which Damon Martin of MMA Fighting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/boxing\/464606\/jake-paul-receives-indefinite-medical-suspension-after-suffering-broken-jaw-in-loss-to-anthony-joshua\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported on January 4<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"56\">Despite this suspension being indefinite, that doesn&#8217;t mean Jake Paul can never fight in Florida again. It just means the commission will need proof that Paul&#8217;s jaw is all right before sanctioning another one of his bouts. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"59\">Jake was present at the Amanda Serrano vs. Reina Tellez fight on January 3 and was asked about how his jaw is healing. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5c\">&#8220;Yeah, I got four plates in my jaw. But, you know, that&#8217;s part of the sport. And the healing process has been a little bit tough. I&#8217;m a little bit tired, it&#8217;s hard to sleep, I go onto a pillow, and then my jaw twerks up,&#8221; Paul said, per an X post from @BOXINGnBBQ.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jake Paul healing up nice but says it\u2019s hard to sleep with all the plates in his jaw! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BOXINGnBBQ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#BOXINGnBBQ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Boxing?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#Boxing<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/si7INOogpI\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/si7INOogpI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BOXING n BBQ (@BOXINGnBBQ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BOXINGnBBQ\/status\/2007635357840646503?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5i\">This medical suspension raises the question of when Paul will be able to fight again. It doesn&#8217;t seem likely that he&#8217;ll be cleared to compete until the second half of 2026, and he might want to wait even longer than that until he&#8217;s sure his jaw isn&#8217;t at risk of re-injuring itself. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5l\">The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5o\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/anthony-joshua-breaks-silence-after-tragic-car-crash-with-emotional-3-word-message\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anthony Joshua Breaks Silence After Tragic Car Crash With Emotional 3-Word Message<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/jake-paul-shares-emotional-dedication-after-anthony-joshua-tragedy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Paul Shares Emotional Dedication After Anthony Joshua Tragedy<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5u\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/jake-paul-given-cruiserweight-rankings-blow-after-anthony-joshua-defeat\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Paul Given Cruiserweight Rankings Blow After Anthony Joshua Defeat<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-18\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5x\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/where-junto-nakatani-ranks-in-122-pound-division-after-debut-win\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Where Junto Nakatani Ranks In 122-Pound Division After Debut Win<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul had his jaw broken in two places after his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua on December&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-388727","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
