Could Jake Paul be returning to the boxing ring months after suffering a brutal knockout?
Back in December, Paul was viciously knocked out by former heavyweight boxing champ Anthony Joshua.
After the fight, Paul had to have surgery to repair a severely broken jaw.

It is worth noting that Paul still can’t spar and likely won’t fight until later this year due to his broken jaw.

“I got my second surgery recently, so the doctors said four, five, six months to even be able to spar to see how the bone is healing. “So that puts us like maybe late this year, early next year.”
Paul also showed interest in fighting Nate Diaz in MMA for his comeback fight.
“I’ve always liked to challenge myself and be a disruptor and do things that people wouldn’t expect me to do… I would be down and I tried very, very hard multiple times with Nate Diaz to make that happen. I believe that’s the perfect fight for me in MMA so I would still like to make that happen.”
