Paul Considers Retirement After Injury from Joshua Fight

Paul is contemplating retirement following a severe injury he suffered during a fight against Anthony Joshua in December 2022, where he experienced a brutal knockout defeat and a shattered jaw. He has undergone corrective surgery and has spent a significant amount of time sidelined from the sport.

Paul is currently waiting for medical clearance to return to the gym and spar, as he aims for a comeback by the end of 2026. He mentioned that he feels better week by week and is in shape, enjoying mitt work while he awaits a new scan to assess the healing of his jaw.

Paul expressed uncertainty about the timeline for his return, stating that it depends on the healing process of his jaw and the replacement of a missing tooth. He remains hopeful about the possibility of fighting again, contingent on receiving medical clearance.
