Jake Paul went up against Anthony Joshua in the boxing ring, and boy, did he lose.
The 28-year-old influencer started boxing in 2018, and his recent match with Joshua ended with a broken jaw. Joshua, 36, is a two-time unified world heavyweight champion who weighs over 50 pounds more than Paul. Due to their difference in weight and experience, many criticized the match before it even began.
Turns out, people were right to be concerned. Joshua wasn't holding back during the December 19th match at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Paul was knocked out in the sixth round, and his face paid the price.
As a result of his broken jaw, Jake Paul had ot have two titanium plates installed in his mouth and have multiple teeth removed. You can check out the gnarly aftermath below:

The Internet reacts to Jake Paul's loss
It's no secret that Jake Paul isn't exactly beloved. He and his brother, Logan Paul, have faced a lot of controversies since becoming Internet-famous. Paul's match with Joshua was streamed live on Netflix, and people have a lot to say about the outcome.
Some folks are cracking jokes while others are taking pleasure in Paul's pain. However, Paul does have his fans, and they've been sending him their love.
A gift for some.

But is it a bad look for boxing?
Please stop making these fights. What did this teach us? That someone can train to run away from Anthony Joshua for a few rounds until he eventually catches you and punches you.

It's making an absolute mockery of the sport at this point. https://t.co/8CjdcZbM2p
At least it didn't seem rigged.

Is Netflix taking things too far?
Between this and the Jake Paul fight, the Netflix Live strategy seems to be “Tune in and maybe see someone die!” https://t.co/ncd7RcihWc

Proof that Paul has some support.
Go again and beat him!

You had balls Jake, be proud whatever the keyboard warriors say
You lasted 6 rounds with an Olympic champion & ex-world heavyweight champ, who was the weight above you
— $trong (@StrongHedge) December 20, 2025
The odds of you winning were zero, but lasting that long shows you got some dog in you
People who’ve never fought in their life talking shit the comments lol
