Anthony Joshua's team forced to confront Logan Paul as tense moment in the ring explained

You might be wondering why Anthony Joshua's team confronted Logan Paul in the ring post-fight.

It's safe to say Jake Paul got well-battered by AJ following a sixth-round knockout and a broken jaw.

The 28-year-old stopped throwing punches early on and was confronted by a championship pro boxer two stone heavier.

And despite coming out on top, Joshua thought it 'wasn't his best performance'.

"We have to give Jake his respect for trying and trying and trying, but he came up against a real fighter tonight that’s had a 15-month layoff, who shook off the cobwebs," he told Netflix after the match.

Paul stated in his post-fight interview: “I’m feeling good, that was fun...I love this sport. I gave it my all...I had a blast.

“Anthony’s a great fighter, I got my a** beat, but that’s what this sport’s about.”

He added: “I think my jaw is broke by the way… it’s definitely broke. A nice ass whooping from one of the best to ever do it."

After Joshua was awarded the win, however, Jake's brother, Logan, was accused of trying to snatch AJ's Polymarket chain, said to be worth around £370,000.

It comes after Logan was trash-talking Jake's rival all night: “It’s good, bro. You’re the old guy now. That’s crazy.

"So what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? You’ve lost every single one of them. You’ve lost every single round. This could be a legacy ender, AJ."

Jake, meanwhile, had to be taken to hospital for emergency surgery on his broken jaw.

MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian said: "We met with Netflix afterwards. He took a shower. He drove himself to the hospital. A broken jaw is common in sports, particularly in boxing or MMA, and I think the recovery time is four to six weeks."

In a social media post from earlier today, Paul told his fans that he's 'just got out of surgery'.

Alongside a picture of him sitting up in a hospital bed, he wrote: "Everything went smooth. Thanks for all the love. Lots of pain and stiffness. Gotta eat liquids for 7 days.

"S/o to the amazing team at Miami University hospital. Everyone was so gracious and caring."

He added: "Two titanium plates on each side. Some teeth removed. Have to have only liquids for 7 days so no @doghausdogs."

Despite such an injury, Paul and AJ reportedly earned tens of millions from the fight.

“Stop asking me...$267 million,” he tweeted prior to the bout, which works out at about £200 million.
