Jake Paul suffers horror injury as he is rushed to hospital after Anthony Joshua knock out

Jake Paul came out of his fight with Anthony Joshua worse for wear.

Not only was he dropped four times en route to the eventual sixth-round knockout, but he has also been rushed to hospital with a suspected broken jaw.

“I think my jaw is broken, by the way. It’s definitely broke,” said Paul in the immediate aftermath.

“But that was a nice little a** whopping from one of the best to ever do it.

“I love this s***, but I’m going to come back and get a championship belt at some time.

“I’m feeling good, that was fun. I love this sport.

“I gave it my all. It’s f***ing crazy. I had a blast.

“I got my a** beat, but that’s what this sport is about. I’m going to come back and keep on winning.”

After the stoppage, Paul was caught on camera asking, “It’s fine, right?” as he opened his mouth, with his jaw clearly out of line.

It also looked as though some of his teeth had been dislodged in the process, but that won’t matter too much to Paul, as the internet sensation has earned more than enough money to get them fixed.

According to reports, both men pocketed an even share of £140m for the Netflix fight.

And while it took longer than expected, fans were eventually treated to the knockout they flocked to Miami to see.

“It wasn’t the best performance. The end goal was to get Jake Paul, pin him down, hurt him – that has been the request leading up,” said Joshua.

“It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found its destination…

“Jake Paul has done really well tonight. I wanna give him his props, it takes a real man to do that.

“He came up against a real fighter tonight, who’s had a 15-month lay-off.

“I needed to give this guy a systematic breakdown, I said I’m going to see his soul leave his body round after round.

“I said it, and that’s exactly what happened.”
