According to news agencies, Paul's ambition to climb the professional ranks took a literal hit in Miami last month. Anthony Joshua secured a 6th-round knockout victory that left Jake Paul with a jaw broken in two places. The American social media star required surgery to repair the damage after a fight where critics noted a massive disparity in size and experience.
The latest WBA rankings, updated for the period ending December 31, show that Paul—who was ranked No 15—has been replaced by Bosnia's Edin Puhalo. Puhalo recently recorded his 29th career win. Paul's professional record now stands at 12-2, a significant dip from his peak at No 14 in the rankings earlier last year.
