Jake Paul insists he’ll box again despite suffering a broken jaw when he got knocked out by Anthony Joshua. How fast he returns to the ring could hinge on potential complications after recent jaw surgery, according to medical experts.
It does not take a medical expert to envision the potential challenge for the 28-year-old Paul.
People recovering from jaw surgery are supposed to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting and hard, crunchy or chewy food. But Paul does not fit the profile of the average patient.
The same day he had surgery at the University of Miami hospital, he attended a party at a Miami mansion, according to photos and video published by TMZ.
He said during an interview with his brother, Logan, he might go snowboarding during his time off.
And, of course, he set aside concerns over his health in fighting Joshua, the former world heavyweight champion who broke Paul’s jaw in two places with a knockout punch.
