Jake Paul has crossed a threshold two weeks after surgery to repair his broken jaw, provided he has not developed complications.
He had the surgery Dec. 20, the day after Anthony Joshua broke Paul’s jaw in two places with the knockout punch that ended their heavyweight fight in Miami – and cast some doubt on Paul’s career.
Although Paul said he’ll box again, he has provided no update on his recovery from a procedure in which two titanium plates and screws were inserted on both sides of his mouth. But two doctors with expertise in corrective jaw surgeries talked to USA TODAY Sports about the situation and offered insight into what Paul might be experiencing.
