'My doctor definitely doesn’t want me to fight' - Jake Paul reveals he may never fight again after Anthony Joshua loss

Jake Paul has admitted that he may never step into the boxing ring again after sustaining brutal injuries in his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua.

In November, the boxing world was shocked after it was confirmed that YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul would be fighting former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua the following month.

When the pair met in the ring at the Kaseya Center in Miami the following month the fight went exactly as expected, with Paul spending six rounds evading his opponent before being knocked out in the sixth round.

Following the fight it was revealed that Paul had sustained several major injuries, the worst being a double jaw fracture that has sidelines him for months.

But now, Paul has revealed that his injuries could mean that he is forced to hang up the gloves for good following advice from his doctor.

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, Paul admitted: "Yeah, I'm getting some new scans here in a couple of days of the jaw. We'll see what my doctors say. You know, can I even fight again?

"That is definitely in the realm and possibilities of things. It does, like, feel a lot better, but I definitely need to get cleared."

When asked if he really was considering his future in boxing, he replied: "Yeah, most definitely. I think it just depends on how the bone heals. And then also there's a tooth missing here. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get an implanted tooth of some sort.

"I don't know how much time that's going to add to things. We just have to see, figure out what the smartest thing is for me."

Helwani then clarified if Paul himself was considering if continuing to fight was even worth it anymore, to which he confessed: "Yeah, those thoughts have definitely come up.

"Definitely my doctor Arman. Shout out to Arman, but he doesn't want me to fight again."

If Paul were to retire he would do so with a professional record of 12 wins and two losses with victories over Mike Tyson, Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva, with Tommy Fury handing him his other loss.

Meanwhile Joshua will make his return to the boxing ring against Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ahead of an expected blockbuster fight with British rival Tyson Fury later this year.
