Jake Paul may have already made his last walk to the ring.

Jake Paul put his money where his mouth is against Anthony Joshua this past December. Five months later, there’s a possibility it may have been his final walk to the ring. Paul, 29, suffered the second loss of his 14-match boxing career when Joshua stopped him in Round 6 of their heavyweight clash .

It was Paul’s first time being finished and resulted in a gnarly broken jaw that’s kept him sidelined ever since. Speaking Monday on “The Ariel Helwani Show,” Paul revealed that he’s expecting to get scans in the next few days to see how his injury is healing. But with his doctors not wanting to see Paul compete again, “The Problem Child” has started to acknowledge that as a possibility.

"We'll see what my doctors say,” Paul told Uncrowned regarding his fighting future. “I'll be able to get a more accurate timeframe, or can I even fight again? That is definitely in the realm and possibilities of things [that I can’t].

[The jaw] does feel a lot better as weeks and time goes by, but I definitely need to get cleared first to be able to spar. "Most definitely [my fighting future is in doubt],” he added. “It just depends on how the bone heals.
