Jake Paul has shared a pretty grim clip of his injury after losing to Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight mismatch.

The British boxer needed six rounds to put a stop to the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s antics before finally beating him by knockout.

A powerful, clean right-hand blow at Miami’s Kaseya Centre in the early hours of this morning (20 December, UK time) took out Paul, and he now says he’s been left with a broken jaw with an X-ray to prove it.

Joshua admitted he didn’t have ‘the best performance’, as well as calling out Tyson Fury, as he said: “The end goal was to pin Jake Paul down and hurt him. It took a bit longer than expected, but the right hand finally found the destination."

Paul pretty much spent the majority of the fight avoiding Joshua, falling to the canvas and grabbing at his legs.

But with the two-stone weight gap in play, he did manage a handful of shots, and it arguably doesn’t exactly look great on AJ that the fight went into the sixth round.

And as fans watched that final right-hand blow land on Paul, there was a fair bit of fear for if he’d rise back up unaided.

He was off to the hospital afterwards, though, as he says he’s now got a broken jaw and missed the post-fight conference as a result.

"We think he broke his jaw. But he's fine," Most Valuable Promotions chief Nakisa Bidarian said.

"He took a shower, he drove himself to hospital. A broken jaw is very common in sports, particularly in boxing or MMA. The recovery time is four to six weeks."

Paul shared a clip to Instagram saying: “It’s fine right?” as he showed the impact on the inside of his mouth.

Smiling through a bloodied mouth guard, blood can be seen trickling over his lips as his teeth are crooked, with his jaw appearing to be pretty wonky right where Joshua landed the blow.

Of course, committed to the social media content, he also shared a clip lying on the hospital bed with his brother, Logan Paul, beside him as he wrote: “Broken jaw guys thanks for all the support I’m ok.”

And he's also now shared the X-ray which clearly shows a break in his jaw right where his teeth were sent inwards by Joshua's fist.

"Double broken jaw. Give me Canelo in 10 days," he wrote in the caption as fans said it's proof it 'certainly wasn't staged'.

His YouTuber brother also shared a snap of the pair as he posted: “Proud brother of an absolute warrior, broke his jaw but can’t break his spirit.’

“Oooof… mad respect big dawg,” fans commented as Paul said he is going ‘to take a little break’ after healing the injury and coming back to ‘fight people my weight’.
