Jake Paul has admitted that his boxing future remains uncertain as he continues recovering from serious injuries suffered during his knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua in December.<\/p>\n
The YouTuber-turned-boxer sustained a double jaw fracture and lost a tooth during the sixth-round stoppage loss in Miami.<\/p>\n
Major Surgery and Recovery Complications<\/p>\n
Following the defeat, Paul underwent major surgery, with doctors inserting two titanium plates to stabilise his jaw.<\/p>\n
However, complications during recovery forced him to undergo a second procedure after issues developed with the surgical hardware.<\/p>\n
Waiting for Medical Clearance<\/p>\n
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Paul revealed he is still waiting to learn whether he will be medically cleared to fight again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see what my doctors say,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ll be able to get a more accurate timeframe, or can I even fight again? That is definitely in the realm of possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Training Still Restricted<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old explained that although his condition has gradually improved, he cannot fully resume training until doctors approve his return.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe jaw does feel a lot better as weeks go by, but I definitely need to get cleared to be able to spar,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Doubts Over Fighting Future<\/p>\n
Paul admitted that concerns about his boxing career have weighed on him during recovery.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost definitely,\u201d he said when asked if his boxing future was in doubt.<\/p>\n
Despite the uncertainty, he insisted he is not ready to step away from the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose doubts have come up, but I\u2019m not done.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can just feel it in my spirit and my soul, and my heart that I have more fights left.\u201d<\/p>\n
