Jake Paul Details Grueling Recovery Following Broken Jaw

Saturday night’s card served as the official launch point for the year, with championship-level stakes and familiar names front and center. Amanda Serrano headlined the event, continuing her run as one of the sport’s most reliable attractions, while Holly Holm returned to the ring in a bout that carried real significance rather than nostalgia. Together, the fights set the tone for what figures to be a loaded year in women’s boxing, blending elite skill with mainstream attention.

Also in attendance was Jake Paul, representing Most Valuable Promotions and drawing attention for reasons that had nothing to do with gloves or scorecards. Speaking about his recovery from a broken jaw, Paul offered a candid — and characteristically blunt — update.

‘I got four plates in my jaw,’ he said, adding that the healing process has been ‘a little bit tough.’ Paul explained that sleep has been difficult, joking that his jaw shifts when he lays down and wakes him up in the middle of the night. Still, he brushed it off as ‘part of the sport,’ framing the injury as a lesson rather than a setback.

‘It was an amazing night and I learned a lot, gained a lot of experience,’ he said. ‘We’re moving on to more fights this year.’

That mindset mirrored the energy of the entire event. This wasn’t about easing back into form or testing the waters — it was about setting expectations early. Between the action in the ring and Paul’s unapologetically forward-looking comments, the message was clear: 2026 is already in motion, and boxing plans to stay busy, bruised, and unapologetically loud.
