"“I'm getting some new scans here in a couple of days of the jaw to get an update on the healing process. We'll see what my doctors say,” Paul said. “I think I'll be able to get a more accurate timeframe or, can I even fight again? That is definitely in the realm and possibilities of things.”"
"“It does like feel a lot better as weeks go by and time goes by, but I definitely need to get cleared first to be able to spar. But I'm sort of staying in shape. I'm always in the gym pretty much regardless. So just staying in shape and, and enjoying, some mitt work.”"
"“Most definitely. I think it just depends on like how the bone heals,” he said. “And then also there's like a tooth missing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get an implanted tooth of some sort. I don't know how much time that's going to add to things. But we just have to see and figure out what the smartest thing is for me.”"
Jake Paul is recovering from a broken jaw suffered in a sixth-round knockout loss to Anthony Joshua on Dec. 19. A planned fight with Gervonta Davis fell through, leading Paul to accept the bout against a much larger heavyweight. Paul’s focus has shifted temporarily as his MMA-related business activity continues, while his boxing career depends on recovery progress. He plans to get new scans to assess healing and determine whether he can fight again. He feels better over time but needs clearance to spar. He is also dealing with a missing tooth that may require an implant, which could affect his timeline. He has received advice from people around him, including his doctor, about whether to continue.
