Jake Paul Double Broken Jaw Anthony Joshua Knockout December 2025: Posts X-Ray, Jokes About Fighting Canelo Next
Miami, Florida – Even after taking a brutal beating that ended in a sixth-round knockout, Jake Paul is keeping his trademark sense of humor and defiance alive, sharing an X-ray of his severely injured jaw and tossing out a cheeky challenge to one of boxing’s pound-for-pound kings.
The social media star turned pro boxer faced off against former heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua on December 19, 2025, in a highly hyped Netflix-streamed event at the Kaseya Center. What started as an intriguing crossover matchup quickly turned into a one-sided masterclass from Joshua, who used his size, power, and experience to drop Paul four times before finishing him off.
Paul, fighting nearly 30 pounds heavier than his usual cruiserweight division, hung in there longer than many expected but couldn’t overcome the gap in skill. Right after the final knockdown, it was clear something was seriously wrong – Paul later confirmed he’d suffered a double broken jaw from those crushing shots.
From what looked like a hospital bed, the 28-year-old posted the X-ray on Instagram showing two clear fractures, captioning it with classic Jake flair: “Double broken jaw. Give me Canelo in 10 days.” It was a playful nod to Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champ, even as Paul dealt with the painful reality of recovery.
His team’s CEO, Nakisa Bidarian, downplayed any major worry, saying Paul was in good spirits – he even drove himself to get checked out and took a shower beforehand. Broken jaws aren’t uncommon in combat sports, and docs figure he’ll need about four to six weeks to heal up.
In another update, Paul thanked fans for the support and admitted the loss stung but fired him up more. “That was a solid whooping from one of the all-time greats,” he said, giving props to Joshua. “I love this game, and I’ll be back chasing that world championship belt.”
Looking ahead, Paul talked about dropping back to cruiserweight, where he feels strongest, and gunning for a title there after a short break. He’s been grinding nonstop for six years, building a 12-2 record with some big wins along the way, and this setback – his first by knockout – seems like just another chapter in his wild ride.
Joshua, bouncing back strong himself, praised Paul’s heart in the ring while reminding everyone there’s levels to boxing. For fans, the Jake Paul double broken jaw Anthony Joshua knockout December 2025 will go down as a reality check in the influencer-boxer era, but knowing Paul, he’ll spin it into motivation for whatever bold move comes next.
As he recovers, the boxing world is already buzzing about his future – and that tongue-in-cheek Canelo callout has folks smiling, even if a fight like that is a long shot. One thing’s for sure: Paul never stays down for long.
