Paul goes to hospital with suspected broken jaw

Jake Paul has gone to hospital with a suspected broken jaw after he was stopped by Anthony Joshua in their heavyweight fight in Miami.

The American went six rounds with the two-time heavyweight world champion but failed to beat the count following repeated knockdowns.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer hit the canvas twice in the fifth and sixth rounds and said in his post-fight comments he believed his jaw was "definitely" broken.

The 28-year-old missed the post-fight news conference as a result and Most Valuable Promotions chief Nakisa Bidarian confirmed Paul had gone to hospital.

"We think he broke his jaw. But he's fine," 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 up to four to six weeks."

Paul was a massive underdog and his tactics against Joshua appeared to be to use his speed and footwork to stay away from the Briton's big punches.

The fight attracted criticism because of the weight discrepancy and experience gap between the fighters.

Paul has fought most of his career at cruiserweight and says he intends to take "some time off" from boxing.

"We will heal the broken jaw, come back and fight people my weight. I'm going for the cruiserweight world title," he said.

"I'm going to take a little break. I've been going hard for six years."
