Former YouTuber Jake Paul (28), whose jaw was shattered by the powerful punch of former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (36), was eventually banned from boxing indefinitely. He held out as a hawk in the ring and collected astronomical fees, but the price was disastrous injuries and forced rest.

British media "The Sun" reported on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that "Paul, who suffered a serious fracture of his jaw in the game with Joshua, was suspended indefinitely by the Florida State Athletic Commission."

According to the media, Paul cannot climb into the ring until he is confirmed by a specialist that he can fight again.

Earlier, Paul collapsed disastrously in a showdown with Joshua at Miami's Kaseya Center, realizing the wall of the heavyweight division. Joshua showed an overwhelming difference in skills from the beginning of the game, pushing Paul, who continued to rise despite being downed four times.

However, around 1:31 of the sixth round, Joshua's powerful right-hand straight was duly inserted into Paul's jaw, and Paul's jawbone was smashed in two places, and the game ended as it was.

Post-match scrutiny showed Paul's condition was much worse than expected. Paul was immediately taken to the hospital and underwent major surgery to insert four titanium plates and remove some teeth to fix his jawbone.

Paul said in an interview with sports channel DAZN, "I had four boards on my chin. The recovery process is too difficult," he said.

Paul then said, "I'm so tired, but it's hard to sleep. "When I put my head on a pillow, my jaw twists to the left, and I wake up because of the pain," he said after the injury. Immediately after surgery, they are having difficulty managing their diet to the extent that they have to eat only liquid food for a week.

Nevertheless, Paul drew a line on the retirement rumor. Paul now has a 14-2 record and is taking a break from supporting his fiancee and Dutch speed skater Utah Leyrdam in qualifying for the Winter Olympics. Paul said, "I'm going to come back after treating my broken jaw and try to win my cruiserweight world title. I want to be in the ring again within this year," he said, strengthening his will to return.

Joshua, the winner, was engulfed in tragic news after the match. Joshua's close friend and dedicated trainer Kevin Latif Ayodele and conditioning coach Sina Kami were killed in a car accident in Nigeria last week. Joshua was also in the car, but it was reported that he saved his life through a close call.

Joshua, who lost his precious teammates at a time when he had to beat Paul and enjoy the victory, returned to his hometown of England and held a funeral for his friends. Paul's management company, MVP, also expressed condolences to Joshua's friends through social networking services (SNS).

The match between the two players drew attention as much as the result of the game. According to local reports such as the Daily Mail, Joshua and Paul agreed to halve the astronomical fee of 136 million pounds (about 240 billion won).

The real winner of the return was Paul. Joshua, a British resident, must immediately pay £25.6 million (about 50 billion won), 37% of his profits to the U.S. IRS, and more than half of his charges will be deducted from taxes when taxes and insurance payments are combined. On the other hand, Paul, a U.S. resident, had a relatively low tax burden, so he earned about 136 billion won in net profit alone.
