Jake Paul said on Ariel Helwani's show that recent scans will determine whether he can fight again after the jaw injury he suffered in his December loss to Anthony Joshua.
The 29-year-old said the sixth-round knockout left him with a broken jaw and a missing tooth, with an implant likely needed as he weighs a return.
Joshua had to weigh in at 245 pounds for the bout, far above Paul's usual 200-pound cruiserweight class, underscoring the damage risk in the biggest fight of Paul's career.
Paul said retirement has crossed his mind and some people around him want him to stop, but he still believes he has more fights left and "unfinished business."
Could a career-ending injury ironically cement Jake Paul's legacy as the champion women's boxing needed?
While his fighting future is in doubt, is Jake Paul building the most powerful empire in combat sports?
