Jake Paul’s already bruised boxing career has taken another hit after his first-ever knockout loss.
The YouTuber-turned-fighter had his jaw broken in two places during a sixth-round stoppage by Anthony Joshua last month.
Not long after, the WBA removed him from his top 15 cruiserweight rankings, a move that sparked plenty of debate over whether he should have been there in the first place.
Now, the 28-year-old faces an indefinite spell away from the ring.

Jake Paul already has next fight in mind
Paul has plenty to deal with before returning to the ring, but he is not shying away from looking ahead.
On Christmas Eve, he dropped a hint about his future plans, mentioning a potential bout against a former UFC heavyweight champion.
Paul made the remarks on his brother Logan’s podcast: “I told everyone that I would do better than Francis and that Francis got no chin.
“Francis low-key soft… I’ll fight Francis, wow, that’s a good idea actually.
“I think maybe now he’ll take it.”
