Jake Paul's coaches have been questioned after previously unseen corner footage from his sixth-round knockout defeat to Anthony Joshua has emerged.
Joshua, who was the heavy favourite to defeat Paul in Miami, secured the knockout in the sixth of a maximum of eight three-minute rounds.
His knockout punch connected flat on the jaw of Paul, who later revealed that he had suffered a broken jaw in two places.
In addition, he had titanium plates inserted into his mouth which mean he can only consume liquids for the next seven days.
While it won't be the ideal Christmas celebrations the Paul family would have hoped for, the 28-year-old will still walk away with a reported purse of £140 million.

He has promised he will fight someone 'my weight' in his next fight, with Joshua having weighed in at 243.4lbs compared to Paul at 216.6lb.
Paul will also hope to take on an opponent who will give him a far better chance of winning.
His boxing promotion, Most Valuable Promotions, have posted their latest episode of 'MVP Uncut' to YouTube, which showcases footage and incidents that were not captured on TV during the fight.
In the video, however, Paul's coaches can be heard telling the 28-year-old that was winning every round ahead of the sixth round.
Paul did manage to evade Joshua's bigger shots in the opening rounds and the first round was relatively close given their gulf in class.
But Joshua stepped into gear from round two onwards, reflected by the scorecards, with Paul not landing a single shot on his opponent in round six.
Ahead of that final round, one of his coaches can be heard encouraging him in the corner: "Wake up, son. You got this. Come on, son. Come on, champ."
But the other interjects: "You won every round but that round [five]!"
Reacting to the clip, one viewer wrote: "You won every round but that round is crazy."
A second said: "Why the hell is his coach telling him he won every round? That's why he got knocked out cuz he thought he was doing good."
While a third added: "His coaches are embarrassing. 'You won every round but that round'."
