Jake Paul Plans Boxing Return After Second Jaw Surgery
Boxer Jake Paul is eyeing his return to the ring for late 2026 or early 2027. This, after undergoing a second jaw surgery, a consequence of his knockout loss to Anthony Joshua in December.Paul (12-2) suffered a fractured jaw in two places during the fight against Joshua, who stopped him in the sixth round. The first surgery took place the next day, and a second surgical procedure was required in February. The YouTuber turned professional boxer is planning his return, but in a weight category in which he feels more comfortable, after losing in heavyweight against Joshua. Paul confirmed that he will compete in cruiserweight.I underwent my second surgery recently and the doctor said that it will take four, five, or six months to even be able to train and see how the bone is healing. That puts us perhaps at the end of this year or the beginning of next year for a fight.

I will definitely be cruiserweight. Joshua’s punches hurt a lot more than the people in my weight class. That’s where I’m best, without a doubt, and where I want to keep climbing the rankings and make some statements.
